Composite threat score: 66/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Generic Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: LevelBlue, SOCRadar, URLQuery

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      66.29.141.223 (US, Los Angeles)
ASN:             AS22612 Namecheap, Inc.

## 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: 2026-04-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-21 16:12:25 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-07 06:51:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-07 00:57:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies sextortion scam website uk05live.us operating since April 06, 2026, designed to trick users into revealing sensitive login credentials through fake brand portals. The domain leverages a convincing SSL certificate and mimics high-traffic sites to increase deception, presenting a near-identical copy of legitimate authentication pages. Security researchers warn this pattern often captures passwords and payment data for follow-up digital extortion.  This domain was flagged with 0/95 VirusTotal detections at the time of analysis, indicating it remains under the radar for most antivirus engines despite active hosting at IP 66.29.141.223. Domain registration through Namecheap Inc further complicates takedown efforts due to registrar privacy protections, while the Sectigo SSL certificate grants an air of legitimacy to unsuspecting visitors.  If you visited uk05live.us, immediately change passwords used on the site and enable two-factor authentication wherever possible. Scan your device with updated antivirus software to check for spyware, and avoid clicking any pop-ups or suspicious links that appeared during your visit. Report the domain to your cybersecurity team and consider changing banking details if you entered payment information.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
