## 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: 2026-06-28 15:00:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain sepacrypto.tax has been identified as a potential credential theft site. It is currently under investigation, with no known brand association and indicative of a generic phishing threat. There is no evidence at this time pointing towards it being part of a larger drainer kit.

Technical indicators reveal that the VirusTotal score is 0/95, indicating it has not been flagged by any detections to date. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to the IP address 185.236.228.82. The domain was created on June 25, 2026, which raises concerns regarding its validity and potential malicious intentions. There are no entries in existing blocklists related to this domain at this moment.

Currently, sepacrypto.tax remains active, and its risk level is marked as under investigation. Given its unflagged status and the newness of its registration, ongoing monitoring is advised to assess if any further malicious actions arise. Users should exercise caution with this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      a48e36a3cc1ec854b50597228838e1fe7cc124e54eb48ef5de01427a37ce4983

## 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.
