## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is
waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter.

## 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: 2026-02-19 08:19:44 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-03-31 01:27:11 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify)
Flagged dead:      2026-03-17 06:04:25 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed)
Current status:    UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 days stale)

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: 2026-03-03 16:48:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies usdtex.network as a low-risk generic phishing domain. It is flagged on one security blocklist, suggesting potential malicious intent targeting unsuspecting users.

The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. VirusTotal analysis shows limited detection, with 2 out of 95 security vendors marking it as suspicious. The page title is generic, labeled simply as "Home," consistent with phishing setups.

Currently active, usdtex.network warrants monitoring due to its presence on blocklists and phishing indicators. Users and organizations should exercise caution, avoid interaction, and consider adding the domain to internal blocklists to prevent potential credential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       dc568a82df8eb82ade5ceb5fec2b6dac102d57da2cef27a056f235ac4b039ba8
TLS cert SHA-256:      53e4d7562d4a21c92cc83e7b7cbbc6732c755b8c4350336f69d0b0ec661c86bb

## 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.
