# PhishDestroy threat dossier — teaprotocol.community
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-02 17:03:40 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/teaprotocol.community/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: Sei

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Dynadot Inc
Nameservers:     ["alexa.ns.cloudflare.com", "randall.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Registered:      2026-06-08
HTTP response:   404

## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-02 16:20:38 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:29:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:47:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is classified as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Sei, a blockchain platform. The site mimics legitimate Sei infrastructure to deceive users into interacting with malicious smart contracts or disclosing sensitive wallet credentials, potentially leading to unauthorized asset transfers or crypto drainer attacks.

Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain teaprotocol.community was registered on June 8, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar frequently associated with phishing campaigns. At the time of assessment, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but confirmed detection. The site was issued an SSL certificate by Google Trust Services, a common tactic to lend false legitimacy. The domain has since been taken offline, though historical DNS records or cached content may still pose residual risks. No associated IP addresses were provided in the initial intelligence, limiting network-level attribution.

Users and organizations are advised to implement the following mitigation measures specific to brand impersonation and crypto-related threats. First, verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official Sei communication channels for legitimate URLs, as impersonation sites often use slight misspellings or appended terms (e.g., 'protocol' or 'community'). Second, enforce strict wallet security protocols, including the use of hardware wallets and multi-signature requirements for high-value transactions. Third, deploy browser-based security extensions that block known phishing domains and alert users to suspicious SSL certificates or registrar patterns. Finally, monitor for unauthorized transactions and revoke any smart contract approvals granted to unfamiliar or untrusted addresses.

## 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 (operator 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.
