Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - exidea-group.org

## 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: 2025-09-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-04-10 14:57:09 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-05-02 04:56:58 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 04:07:22 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-10 16:41:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies user.exidea-group.org as an active credential-harvesting domain under investigation for generic phishing. The site masquerades as a legitimate portal, likely targeting users with spoofed messages to capture login credentials. No known drainer kit or brand impersonation has been confirmed, but the domain’s recent creation and low detection rate suggest an emerging threat.

Technical indicators reveal a 0/95 VirusTotal detection ratio, a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, and resolution to IP 104.21.23.161. Registered through PDR Ltd. on September 16, 2025, the domain remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing and other blocklists. These factors indicate a stealthy, short-lived campaign with minimal footprint.

Current status is active, with no confirmed takedown efforts. Users should block the domain and IP, avoid interaction, and report suspicious emails. Remaining risk is high due to the lack of detection and potential for rapid expansion. Monitor for further IOCs as the investigation continues.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260410-9963DC
Favicon MD5:       d892db42e2e7182e036966d9fbd9063d
TLS cert SHA-256:      671d2185e3c308d4b4925c1510c6d78d3699fa12f9782220d8b62d9101a0774f

## 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.
