smelterc.live Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected

Analysis of the domain smelterc.live, observed on July 28, 2026, indicates active infrastructure supporting a generic phishing campaign. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly associated with high‑value brand protection services, suggesting an attempt to leverage perceived legitimacy. DNS resolution points to two nameservers, ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net, which are atypical for malicious actors and may be an effort to obscure hosting location.

HTTP requests to the domain return a 302 redirect, a behavior frequently employed to forward victims to credential‑harvesting pages while evading simple static analysis. Reputation services have flagged the domain: PhishDestroy lists it as blocked, and it appears on one external security blocklist, reinforcing the classification as malicious. VirusTotal scans show that 18 out of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, providing a multi‑vendor consensus of compromise.

The risk level is rated high, and the domain remains active at the time of reporting. Defenders should add smelterc.live to web‑filtering and DNS blocklists, monitor for outbound connections to the associated nameservers, and treat any traffic to the domain as potentially malicious. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further infrastructure details such as hosting IPs or SSL certificates have not been disclosed in the available intelligence.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      47cf9d52720eb8cb1e973f7b0172ae325cb45aaff2c29221b976968b02f882e6

## 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.
