## 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 18:01:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain smart-ex-odus-ext.wixstudio.com has been identified as an active host for generic phishing activity, with indicators suggesting potential targeting of cryptocurrency users due to the 'exodus' string in the subdomain, referencing a popular crypto wallet. No direct evidence of a drainer kit or specific fake login page has been observed; the threat remains generic phishing pending further investigation.

Technical analysis shows that this domain currently returns 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating it is not yet widely recognized by automated security tools. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and was created on December 17, 2016, indicating longevity and potential for historical use or repurposing. It resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (YR1). At present, it appears on one security blocklist but has not been flagged by Google Safe Browsing.

Given its active status and under-investigation risk level, access to this domain should be avoided until further technical validation is completed. Response actions should include monitoring for abuse reports and continued blocklist status checks. Users and administrators are advised to remain vigilant for possible brand impersonation or credential harvesting campaigns leveraging this infrastructure.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260628-BDEA60
Favicon MD5:       f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1
TLS cert SHA-256:      4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450

## 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.
