## 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.

usd1-reward.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain usd1-reward.com is a fraudulent website that attempted to impersonate a cryptocurrency airdrop giveaway. The page title "Just a moment..." indicates a redirect or loading page, likely used to obscure the scam's nature from casual visitors. The threat posed by this site is financial theft, as fake airdrop scams typically trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets or providing private keys to claim nonexistent rewards, resulting in asset theft.

Technical evidence confirms the malicious nature of the site. VirusTotal detected 7 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain as malicious. It was flagged by ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, and Fortinet. The domain was created on 2026-02-21 and is hosted on IP address 172.67.182.2, which is associated with AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and located in the United States. The SSL certificate is identified as WE1. The domain is listed on 2 blocklists.

As of the latest check, the site is down or offline. The domain risk score is 63, indicating a high level of risk. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain and ensure their cryptocurrency wallets and credentials have not been compromised.

## 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.
