## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Scam

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-04-04
HTTP response:   530

## 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: 2026-06-18 17:33:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain season5-ether.finance has been identified by PhishDestroy as a generic phishing site, specifically a crypto drainer, with no apparent affiliation to a well-known brand. This domain does not seem to be utilizing a drainer kit. The threat type is generic phishing, which indicates a broad range of potential phishing tactics. 

 The domain season5-ether.finance has a VirusTotal score of 5/95, indicating that 5 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious. The registrar and IP information are not available, but it is known that the domain was created on April 04, 2026. Additionally, it has been found in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX and appears on 3 security blocklists, further solidifying its malicious nature. 

 The current status of season5-ether.finance is offline, which suggests that it has been taken down, likely due to the elevated risk level it posed. Despite this, users are still advised to exercise caution, as the domain may be reactivated or similar domains may be created to continue the phishing campaign. PhishDestroy identifies this as an elevated risk and recommends that users verify the legitimacy of any domain before interacting with it, especially when it comes to financial transactions, to avoid potential financial loss.

## 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.
