## 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: 2026-06-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-18 14:30:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 04:20:27 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-20 00:16:17 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

transactions-etherscan.io Crypto Drainer Alert

This domain poses a significant threat as a crypto drainer, specifically targeting users by impersonating Etherscan, a well-known Ethereum block explorer. 
   
The evidence mounts against transactions-etherscan.io, with 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it, and its registrar allowing its creation as recently as June 18, 2026, which raises concerns about its legitimacy, further exacerbated by its appearance on 3 security blocklists.

If users have visited this domain, they should immediately verify the authenticity of the site on PhishDestroy and take necessary precautions to secure their cryptocurrency wallets, as the threat of a crypto drainer is particularly insidious, with the potential to drain funds without the user's knowledge or consent, making swift action crucial to preventing financial loss.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      13ec773a8e7f2f3db3bfce6e4c540f96cec4478459b0132d7521cb4d8f3dc550

## 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.
