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: 2026-04-22 16:52:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies sawyercrypto.com as an active brand impersonation domain designed to deceive users by mimicking Crypto.com. The domain is currently under investigation for malicious intent and remains operational as of the latest assessment. Security teams and end-users are advised to treat this domain with heightened caution due to its deceptive nature and potential to compromise sensitive financial information.

This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it has not yet been widely detected as malicious despite its suspicious configuration. Registered through NAMECHEAP INC, sawyercrypto.com resolves to the IP address 64.188.61.44 and was created on March 13, 2026. The domain’s recent creation date, combined with its impersonation of a major cryptocurrency exchange, raises significant red flags for phishing campaigns targeting crypto investors. Current blocklist counts and trust scores remain unverified, but the lack of detection suggests this may be a newly deployed or stealthily operated threat.

The current status of sawyercrypto.com is active, necessitating immediate preventive measures. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain, verify URLs before entering credentials, and report any suspicious activity involving this site. Organizations should consider blocking the IP 64.188.61.44 at the network perimeter and updating threat intelligence feeds to include this domain. Further monitoring is recommended as additional data points emerge to confirm its malicious intent or potential pivoting to other malicious activities.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-DE4B45
Favicon MD5:       213fad1b4095900c24f150c0f0545ad4

## 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.
