## 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: 2026-05-07 15:19:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies the domain usdtsend.live as an active, generic phishing delivery endpoint. The domain poses an elevated risk by distributing phishing content designed to trick users into divulging sensitive information. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this time; however, the domain’s naming convention suggests a possible lure related to financial or tax documents, a common tactic among phishing campaigns.

This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but present detection coverage. It was registered on August 06, 2025 through GoDaddy.com, LLC, resolving to IP address 172.67.166.187. The domain currently operates with a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may enhance its credibility in phishing lures. No blocklist counts or reputation scores beyond the VirusTotal detection were available at the time of analysis.

The campaign involving usdtsend.live is currently active and poses a tangible threat to users who may encounter phishing pages hosted on this domain. To mitigate risk, users should avoid interacting with any content from usdtsend.live and report the domain to their security teams or via threat intelligence platforms. Organizations are advised to block the domain at the network perimeter and inspect DNS resolutions to the associated IP 172.67.166.187. Users should remain vigilant for unsolicited communications referencing financial or tax-related solicitations, as these are common phishing lures leveraging domains like usdtsend.live.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260507-BC0354
Favicon MD5:       a2bd7298aea9971e039fc01c3a944f0d
TLS cert SHA-256:      10f3bdcc42333248ef9d0b2e95cad9fee510d3a95ff98f19360f6ddc57b9a2e0

## 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.
