## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 02:34:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain usdtron.org is suspected of impersonating the Tron blockchain ecosystem, specifically targeting users of the USDT stablecoin. The site likely presents itself as a legitimate platform for Tron-based USDT transactions or staking, but its true purpose is to deceive victims into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets or entering private keys, leading to asset theft. This constitutes a credential harvesting and financial fraud threat.

Technical analysis shows the domain has 1 detection out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, flagged only by Ermes. It is listed on 1 blocklist. The domain was created on 2026-06-22, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and resolves to IP address 69.46.46.10. Its nameservers are andronicus.ns.cloudflare.com and desiree.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain status is ACTIVE.

As of the latest data, usdtron.org remains active and accessible. The single detection and low blocklist presence indicate limited awareness of the threat, increasing risk for users. The risk level is moderate to high, given the domain's active status and the potential for financial loss through cryptocurrency theft. Immediate caution is advised.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260625-D18D2F
Favicon MD5:       c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc
TLS cert SHA-256:      78ec48de5d4fc5b7919a82abe4a3725aee53c12345b9e09f149086ed4ea43498

## 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.
