## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:20:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-13 01:44:31 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-02 19:55:44 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:21:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies v3-backpack-exchange.github.io as a suspected generic phishing domain impersonating a cryptocurrency exchange and wallet platform, indicated by its page title "Backpack Exchangeʶ | Official Crypto Exćhange & Wallet." The domain is currently classified as "under investigation" due to its social engineering nature and potential to deceive users seeking legitimate crypto services.

Technical analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IPv6 address 2606:50c0:8000::153 and is registered via MarkMonitor, Inc. Despite appearing on three separate security blocklists and being flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering, VirusTotal scans show zero detections from 95 antivirus vendors, suggesting it may be a newly emerging threat or carefully crafted to evade detection. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and has since been taken offline, disrupting its malicious operations.

Currently, the domain status is offline, indicating active mitigation efforts to prevent further phishing attacks. Users are strongly advised to avoid any engagement with this domain or related links. Continuous monitoring is recommended as investigations proceed to uncover additional infrastructure or related phishing campaigns connected to this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      02bdd44d1137ce2317d9aaccd36f753caa1fbec7ee91cc5fae51d81e8ff7dca7

## 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.
