## 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: 2026-06-18 16:33:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a specific threat of generic phishing, aiming to deceive users into revealing sensitive information or engaging in fraudulent Web3 asset launch and trading activities. 

PhishDestroy identifies startup.web3coin.space as a high-risk domain, with evidence including a flag from 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, registration through GoDaddy.com, LLC on March 09, 2026, and appearance on 3 security blocklists, indicating a potentially malicious intent. 

If users have visited this domain, they should immediately exercise caution and monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, considering the domain's active status and SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / R12, and take necessary steps to secure their Web3 assets and personal data, such as changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication, to mitigate potential risks associated with generic phishing threats

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-04F29C
Favicon MD5:       84e3143b5e0f95f4254f6150a69ec8a7
TLS cert SHA-256:      c092a3c87d197243df0023dc4f26df0539a51dfc6b5f723b0d70dca1151bade4

## 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.
