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: 2026-03-24 00:27:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies stargate.finance-v3-wallets-connect-api.online as an active domain involved in crypto draining activities. While the risk level is considered low, this site poses a threat by attempting to steal cryptocurrency assets from users who interact with it. The domain mimics the legitimate Stargate brand, which is known as a global liquidity platform for cross-chain value transfer, to lure unsuspecting victims.

This fraudulent domain employs phishing tactics by presenting itself as the official Stargate wallet connection API. Users may be tricked into granting wallet access or signing malicious transactions, leading to unauthorized transfers of their cryptocurrency holdings. The domain was registered recently and is flagged on one security blocklist, with a minority of security vendors recognizing it as malicious, indicating it is still emerging but active.

If you have visited stargate.finance-v3-wallets-connect-api.online, it is crucial to immediately revoke any wallet permissions granted to unknown dApps and transfer your funds to a secure wallet. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and avoid entering private keys or seed phrases on unfamiliar websites. Staying vigilant and verifying domain authenticity before connecting wallets can help prevent falling victim to such crypto drainers.

## 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.
