## 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: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-07 09:39:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-07 06:39:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 17:31:39 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: 2026-05-07 10:00:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Threat Overview
The domain usdtbep20-mining[.]vip has been identified as a cryptocurrency phishing website. This malicious site targets Web3 users by mimicking legitimate crypto platforms to steal wallet credentials and digital assets.
Attack Analysis
Phishing sites in the cryptocurrency space commonly employ wallet-draining techniques, fake token approval requests, and seed phrase harvesting to steal digital assets from unsuspecting victims.
Risk Indicators

- Domain registered on vip TLD
- Contains cryptocurrency-related keywords
- Domain length: 20 characters
- Contains numbers in the domain name, often seen in phishing
- Drainer Detected

Protection Tips
Always verify URLs before connecting your wallet. Use bookmarks for frequently visited crypto platforms. Enable transaction simulation tools to preview what you're signing.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260507-13893B
Favicon MD5:       17c82f9553e44f80bf489eb4f00cd21d
TLS cert SHA-256:      f0cc5383cb5febe854b5667a4379c496a71cf665a6ba8dbf45760277cc8008a7

## 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.
