## 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: 2026-04-26 17:04:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has flagged stealth-ex.com as a potential crypto drainer, warranting further investigation and heightened user awareness. This designation indicates a risk of unauthorized cryptocurrency theft. Users should avoid interacting with this site until a full security assessment is complete.  This domain, stealth-ex.com, was registered through Dynadot Inc. and currently resolves to IP address 176.125.242.151. It was created on April 23, 2026, which is in the future. The site uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. VirusTotal currently shows a detection ratio of 0/95, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged as malicious. The page title is "StealthEX | Exchange Crypto". The domain is currently active.  Given the potential risk of cryptocurrency theft, users are strongly advised to avoid entering any personal information, especially private keys or wallet credentials, on stealth-ex.com. Exercise caution when interacting with any content on this website. Verify the legitimacy of any cryptocurrency exchange services independently before using them. Consider using a reputable password manager and enabling two-factor authentication on all cryptocurrency-related accounts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260426-B2BD0D
Favicon MD5:       7840ac461d39062a5555c19b180989bf
TLS cert SHA-256:      3164fd8f8d6b98f44dd72c42d0b7f9b06135413f9dfe4668f15d4c44eff3fe6d

## 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.
