## 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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-17 20:30:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 20:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-26 00:01:42 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:06:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain spacex-ipo.xyz is currently active and has been flagged by 4 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal for hosting a crypto scam. It is listed on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's. The domain is registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is hosted on the IP 188.114.96.3. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services.

This domain exploits the high-profile nature of SpaceX by falsely promoting an IPO event to lure victims into a cryptocurrency scam. The page title, "SpaceX IPO | THIS CRYPTO EVENT IS VALID," is designed to mislead visitors into believing they are participating in a legitimate investment opportunity. By capitalizing on SpaceX's brand recognition, the scammers aim to gain the trust of unsuspecting individuals.

Despite the presence of only 4 detections on VirusTotal, the domain's active status and inclusion in PhishDestroy's blocklist indicate its malicious intent. The relatively low detection rate suggests that the domain may be newly registered or not yet widely recognized by security vendors. This highlights the importance of early detection systems that can identify threats before they become widespread. PhishDestroy's pipeline captures such threats in their early stages, providing crucial protection during the initial window when traditional AV databases may not yet have propagated updates.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       d43b9c2e786cf83c5c8e48dc6a22c6fc
TLS cert SHA-256:      4ea66c7a9c6da082dfbd06dc24ad4ccfa11d496c0be0dcf17c5307f1d1f2f3d0

## 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.
