## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:51:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies sale-monad.com as a crypto drainer domain leveraging Wallet Connect abuse to compromise users' cryptocurrency wallets. This malicious activity aims to stealthily drain assets by exploiting trusted wallet connection protocols, posing a significant threat to digital asset security.

The domain sale-monad.com was registered recently and has appeared on multiple security blocklists. Despite its brief existence, it was flagged by numerous cybersecurity vendors and resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3. Additionally, it was registered through Dominet (HK) Limited and has since been taken offline, limiting its current activity.

Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with sale-monad.com or any links associated with it. Ensuring wallets and related applications are updated, refraining from approving unknown Wallet Connect sessions, and using trusted security software can help mitigate risks from such crypto-draining schemes. Staying vigilant helps preserve the safety of digital assets against these evolving threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       3625ee5cdc357de28f1a28decbaa84a1985ba2b8039bed798d7ff695cd72162c

## 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 (volunteer 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.
