## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Impersonation
Targeted brand: spark

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.138.175 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:20:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-22 13:14:49 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-08 21:59:04 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:01:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies sparkdex-ai.com as a low-risk brand impersonation domain targeting users familiar with Spark. Although the threat level is low, this site attempts to mimic the Spark brand to create a false sense of legitimacy, which can confuse users and expose them to potential scams.

This phishing attempt works by presenting itself as an AI-driven decentralized exchange related to Spark, possibly tricking users into trusting and interacting with it. The domain was created recently and is currently active, appearing on one security blocklist. Only one out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged it, suggesting limited but notable concern.

If you have visited sparkdex-ai.com, avoid entering any sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. Consider running a security scan on your device and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Always verify URLs carefully and use official sources when accessing financial or branded services to stay protected.

## 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.
