## 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: 2026-06-25 18:18:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain synapseprotocol.wang has been identified as a generic phishing threat and is currently active. This domain appears to impersonate the brand 'Synapse Protocol', potentially aiming to mislead users into providing sensitive information or accessing malicious content.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that synapseprotocol.wang resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, registered through Dominet (HK) Limited. The domain was created on June 19, 2026, and has been flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors. It appears on 3 security blocklists, indicating a recognized threat level. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, and the IP is located in the US, operating under AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The presence on multiple blocklists and low detection count shows a concerning level of risk associated with this domain.

As of now, synapseprotocol.wang remains active and presents a significant risk to users. It is imperative for individuals and organizations to exercise caution and avoid any interaction with this domain. Security measures should include blocking this domain through organizational firewalls and monitoring user reports for any phishing attempts related to this entity. Regular updates to security systems and threat intelligence feeds are recommended to remain informed about evolving phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260621-D37952
TLS cert SHA-256:      72a371487a9337a481e7fa03905767f07444d2917d05d5d91a225f3f8ab066bf

## 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.
