## 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: 2026-03-19 05:43:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies standx.center as a medium-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the Signal brand. The domain presents itself as "StandX - Trading Education & Market Insights | Non-Commercial Platform," aiming to deceive users into believing it is affiliated with Signal. Classified as a brand impersonation threat, this domain attempts to exploit the trust Signal commands in secure communications by leveraging a financial education theme.

Technically, standx.center was registered on December 18, 2025, and is hosted on IP address 172.67.196.15. It was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and has appeared in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. The domain is listed on one security blocklist, with a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating low credibility. VirusTotal scans reveal that 3 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain, suggesting some detection but not widespread consensus. These indicators highlight the domain's suspicious nature and its involvement in potentially malicious activity.

Currently, standx.center is offline following identification and takedown efforts. PhishDestroy recommends users remain cautious and avoid interacting with any related URLs or communications, as the threat may resurface under different domains. Continuous monitoring and timely reporting are vital to mitigate risks stemming from brand impersonation campaigns that seek to exploit user trust through deceptive online platforms.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 3/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       679e7e62b81267c93d0778083ae0fd0efe24172ff0ac581835b54165b3d9ed43
TLS cert SHA-256:      9f91349b4fbe0667330675791a9114b770c22352b0ddfb0fd55de6ebc708be71

## 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.
