## 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: 2026-03-19 01:17:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies ugu-iota.vercel.app as a high-risk generic phishing domain. Classified based on reported malicious activity, this domain was created recently on February 21, 2026, and registered through Tucows Domains Inc. Its association with phishing attempts is confirmed by its inclusion in one security blocklist and detections from multiple security vendors, indicating a credible threat to users.

Technical analysis reveals that ugu-iota.vercel.app resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.3. VirusTotal flags this domain across 15 out of 95 security engines, underscoring its malicious intent. The domain’s hosting on Vercel’s platform and the generic phishing classification suggest it may have been used to deploy deceptive content aiming to steal sensitive information. The page title “Deployment Unavailable” indicates the phishing content has been removed or is no longer accessible.

Currently, ugu-iota.vercel.app is offline, which reduces immediate risk to internet users. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring of this domain and related infrastructure due to its recent creation and prior malicious activity. Users and organizations should remain vigilant against similar phishing campaigns exploiting newly registered domains hosted on popular platforms.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338

## 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.
