# PhishDestroy threat dossier — skinrate.me
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-02 23:43:43 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/skinrate.me/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 47/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-05-27

## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:49:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies skinrate.me as a confirmed phishing site with an elevated risk level. The domain was engaged in generic phishing activities, likely attempting to harvest sensitive information from unsuspecting visitors. Its status is now offline, having been taken down after detection by security researchers.

Created on May 27, 2026, skinrate.me was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appeared on one security blocklist. The domain's quick removal from the internet suggests active monitoring and takedown efforts, but it remains a threat as similar domains may reappear. No specific registrar or IP data was provided, but the indicators point to a typical phishing operation with a short lifespan.

Users who may have interacted with skinrate.me should immediately change any passwords entered on the site and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Enabling two-factor authentication and running a full security scan on affected devices is recommended. PhishDestroy advises staying vigilant against similar domains and reporting any suspicious sites to security authorities.

## 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 (operator 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.
