## 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: 2026-04-15 19:59:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies tetherhub.space as an active crypto drainer masquerading as a legitimate Tether wallet service, designed to deceive users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets and draining funds.

This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors upon analysis, indicating a lack of widespread detection despite its malicious nature. Registered through Global Domain Group LLC, tetherhub.space resolves to IP 104.21.25.139 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain was created on February 26, 2026, and currently remains unlisted on major threat intelligence blocklists, with no recorded trust scores.

Given its active status and low detection rate, tetherhub.space poses a significant risk to users engaging in cryptocurrency transactions. PhishDestroy recommends immediate blocking of the domain and IP address at the network perimeter. Users should verify the legitimacy of any crypto-related domains by cross-referencing with official Tether channels or using PhishDestroy's real-time lookup tool. Exercise extreme caution when prompted to connect wallets to unfamiliar domains.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260415-326D9E
Favicon MD5:       a742b3c7c8c803927d9b9137264eab86
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b7e57cfaa6ac2555417b17443eb26cdd861b92d40e8704ee64100f323533fc0

## 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.
