## 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: 2026-06-23 19:04:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

skinsmonkye.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain skinsmonkeye.com impersonated the CS2 brand, presenting itself as "SkinsMonkey - Items for CS2." This site posed a threat as a scam targeting users seeking CS2 in-game items, likely attempting to defraud victims through credential theft or fraudulent transactions.

Technical evidence reveals the site was flagged by 21 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. It was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, hosted on IP 188.114.96.3 (United States) under AS13395 Cloudflare, Inc., and created on 2025-03-01. The domain had no SSL certificate and used nameservers aiden.ns.cloudflare.com and amber.ns.cloudflare.com.

The site is currently down/offline. Its risk level is high, with a GridinSoft trust score of 0/100, a DOM risk score of 10, and inclusion on 5 blocklists. The domain was flagged by Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, and Cluster25.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 21/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
