## 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 05:44:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies usdai.finance as a medium-risk phishing domain aimed at deceiving users, likely attempting to harvest sensitive information. The domain presented a page titled "Success!" which might have been used to mislead visitors about legitimate transactions or verifications.

Technical analysis reveals that usdai.finance was registered via Cloudflare, Inc and resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain was flagged on two known security blocklists and was detected by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating some consensus on its malicious nature. Despite this, the domain did not exhibit widespread detection across antivirus engines.

Currently, the usdai.finance domain has been taken offline, mitigating immediate threats. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting or providing any personal or financial information on this domain. Continuous vigilance and use of trusted security tools remain essential to prevent exposure to phishing scams similar to this instance.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       2e8deb28946a6b41ccb927eaa43bbaa78ea82cef39a40638f2e5afa8e90e73ca
TLS cert SHA-256:      c74841cbed00609a42048627a9b82676f3aff43c912e074c2b6e7f8f3a275f8a

## 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.
