## 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: 2026-06-23 16:44:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain tryblockminer.com was configured as an impersonation scam, presenting itself under the title "BlockMiner" while falsely claiming affiliation with the Amazon brand. This type of site poses a threat by deceiving users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate Amazon-related service, potentially leading to credential theft, financial fraud, or unauthorized data disclosure.

Technical analysis reveals that the domain was flagged by 7 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, and URLQuery. It appears on 1 blocklist. The domain is registered through Tucows Domains Inc., with nameservers pointing to ns-cloud-d1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-d2.googledomains.com, and ns-cloud-d3.googledo. The IP address 23.227.38.65 is located in Canada and is assigned to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The domain was created on 2025-12-04 and has no SSL certificate.

As of the last check, the site is down or offline. The GridinSoft trust rating is 0 out of 100, and the DOM risk score is 25, indicating a moderate but currently inactive threat. Users should be advised that this domain is malicious due to its impersonation of Amazon and its association with known threat detection vendors.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

## 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.
