Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency

VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-11 07:21:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-21 07:22:58 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-15 06:12:04 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 15:39:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain usdcethu.online was identified as a crypto drainer targeting cryptocurrency users, currently offline. PhishDestroy analysts confirmed its malicious status.

This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, registered through Go Daddy, LLC on February 21, 2026, resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, appears on 1 security blocklist, and uses Vue.js, jsDelivr, Cloudflare, Axios, and HTTP/3 technologies. Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100.

As the domain is offline, users should remain vigilant for similar threats. Verify all cryptocurrency-related links through PhishDestroy and avoid interacting with suspicious DeFi-ETH impersonation sites.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260211-172E8D
Favicon SHA-256:       3daa9532902a56fd446e7dcd3203fc0c1f6bbb4d156cbca310398ecdf7259e8c
TLS cert SHA-256:      ff948a6ef2b494f6504f8719ae416049157aacf8b4c35b6159082e1ef07d58b8

## 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.
