## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Impersonation
Targeted brand: coingecko (and: coinmarketcap, dexscreener, dextools, telegram, twitter)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      4/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      66.33.60.34 (US, Walnut)
ASN:             ASAS16509 AMAZON-02, US
Hosting org:     AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R13
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-10 13:04:52 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 17:06:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies simsai.io as a domain associated with generic phishing activities. Although the risk level is classified as low, its existence still poses a potential threat to users who may encounter related phishing attempts. The domain was registered under suspicious conditions and has been flagged on at least one security blocklist, indicating prior malicious activity focused on deceiving users into divulging sensitive information.

Technical analysis reveals that simsai.io was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through a dead domain registrar, which often signals minimal oversight or fraudulent intent. VirusTotal data shows the domain has a single detection among a wide array of security vendors, suggesting isolated detection but warranting caution. The domain’s infrastructure and registrant details remain limited, but it fits common phishing domain profiles that exploit short-lived registrations and obscure ownership to avoid protracted detection.

Currently, simsai.io is taken offline, which mitigates immediate risk. However, users and organizations are advised to remain cautious around any links or communications referencing this domain or similar suspicious domains. Continued monitoring and updating of blocklists are recommended to prevent future phishing campaigns leveraging related infrastructure. PhishDestroy encourages maintaining robust cybersecurity hygiene, including verifying URLs and using security tools to stay protected.

## 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.
