Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/usdcstrategy.fun/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 81/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      7/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, ESET, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar
URLQuery:        -1 detections
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21

## 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 reported:    2026-02-26 23:20:03 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-23 00:21:37 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-08 10:45:00 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

usdcstrategy.fun Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

This report analyzes domain usdcstrategy.fun. Based on available data, the domain appears to be a fraudulent investment scheme, likely impersonating the USD Coin (USDC) brand to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets or sending funds under false pretenses. The threat posed is financial theft, as such sites typically aim to drain victims' cryptocurrency assets.

Technical evidence shows the domain was flagged by 7 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, ESET, Google Safebrowsing, and Gridinsoft. It is listed on 3 blocklists. The domain was created on 2026-02-21. No registrar, IP address, or SSL certificate data is available in the provided information.

The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE. Its DOM risk score is 63, indicating a high risk. The combination of multiple security vendor detections, blocklist presence, and recent creation date strongly supports the conclusion that this is a malicious site designed for financial fraud.

## 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.
