## 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: 2026-03-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-08 22:13:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-09 00:20:13 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 22:14:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, sky-1x.cc, is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting online crypto gambling platforms. Analysis indicates the site mimics the legitimate Sky-1x blockchain-based casino, using identical branding elements such as the page title 'Sky-1x: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain.' No direct evidence of a crypto drainer kit has been observed, but the domain’s infrastructure aligns with known impersonation tactics used to deceive users into depositing cryptocurrency under false pretenses.

Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 104.21.83.107 and was registered on March 05, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. VirusTotal reports 16 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and has not been widely blocklisted beyond the VirusTotal detections. The creation date, while future-dated in the provided data, suggests potential typosquatting or preemptive registration to exploit the Sky-1x brand.

The domain remains active and continues to host the impersonation page. No takedown actions have been observed, and the infrastructure persists without disruption. Users are advised to treat any interaction with sky-1x.cc as high-risk, particularly those involving cryptocurrency deposits or account credentials. Organizations should monitor for additional domains registered under the same registrar or resolving to the same IP range, as these may indicate a broader campaign. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain’s active status, brand impersonation tactics, and lack of widespread blocklisting.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7
TLS cert SHA-256:      accb02050b90c49c430f5bf4fc00755166e5cbc6d1555c84e3f7dad37faa2174

## 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.
