AlienVault OTX:  2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      216.198.79.1 (US, Atlanta)
ASN:             AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.
Hosting org:     Lefkoff Industries
Registrar:       NameCheap, Inc.
Nameservers:     ["dns1.registrar-servers.com", "dns2.registrar-servers.com"]
HTTP response:   404

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / YR2
Expires:    2026-09-22
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 687d80c1fbda373cbe56938b97f3c3e56e8560b34d4890d94120084ec907eaf1

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-19 12:38:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 16:20:25 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:23:39 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

rush.trading: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis of rush.trading shows a high‑risk generic phishing operation that has been taken offline as of the report date, July 19, 2026. Google Safe Browsing flags the domain for social engineering, and it is listed on three public blocklists. The site was blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating its use of malicious links targeting credential harvesters and cryptocurrency wallets. SSL was issued by Let’s Encrypt under the YR2 profile, confirming the presence of HTTPS during its active phase. VirusTotal records show six of ninety‑one scanners flagged the domain, reinforcing the malicious classification. Infrastructure data reveal the domain resolves to IP 216.198.79.1, an address attributed to a US‑based entity named Lefkoff Industries. Registration details list NameCheap, Inc. as the registrar, with dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com as authoritative nameservers. MX records include eforward2.registrar-servers.com (priority 10), though the second record is truncated in the source data. AlienVault OTX cites the domain in two threat‑intel pulses, further corroborating its abuse history. While the site now returns HTTP 404, defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter and DNS layers, monitor the IP address for potential reuse, and update detection signatures to include the observed SSL fingerprint and MX configuration. Ongoing vigilance is advised in case the infrastructure is repurposed for new phishing campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      687d80c1fbda373cbe56938b97f3c3e56e8560b34d4890d94120084ec907eaf1

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
