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.

usdgift.top Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

This report analyzes the domain usdgift.top, which is a cryptocurrency scam site. The page title, "REWARD Portal v2 | Latest Web3 Wallet," indicates the site posed as a platform for cryptocurrency rewards or wallet services, likely designed to deceive users into connecting their Web3 wallets or providing credentials, leading to asset theft.

Technical evidence confirms the malicious nature of the site. VirusTotal flagged it with 7 out of 95 detections, and it was reported by security vendors ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, and G-Data. The domain was created on 2026-02-21, uses SSL certificate type WE1, and is hosted on IP address 209.94.90.1 (United States), associated with AS40680 Protocol Labs. The domain is listed on 2 blocklists.

The site is currently offline, with a status of DOWN/OFFLINE. The domain risk score is 63, indicating a high risk level. Although not currently accessible, the domain remains a potential threat if it becomes active again, and users should avoid any interaction with it.

## 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.
