## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: compound (and: near)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ESET, G-Data, Seclookup
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
ASN:             ASAS41727 ERTH-KIROV-AS JSC "ER-Telecom Holding", RU

Page title:      Vault Finance

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R13
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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)

Last verified:     2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-26 20:24:51 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:16:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies vault-stake.pro as a suspicious domain involved in crypto draining activities. Crypto drainers are malicious sites designed to steal cryptocurrencies by tricking users into revealing private keys or authorizing fraudulent transactions. The danger lies in the irreversible loss of digital assets once these credentials or approvals are compromised.

This domain, registered in early 2026, operates under the name Vault Finance and appears on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flags it as suspicious by 5 out of 95 security vendors. The site likely entices users with promises of staking or investment returns but then attempts to capture sensitive wallet information or private keys. Once compromised, attackers can drain the victim’s cryptocurrency wallets without any recourse.

If you have visited vault-stake.pro, it is crucial to stop using any connected wallets immediately and transfer remaining funds to a secure wallet with new private keys. Change passwords on related accounts and enable two-factor authentication wherever possible. Monitor your accounts for unauthorized activity and consider consulting cybersecurity professionals for further steps. Avoid engaging with this domain to safeguard your crypto assets and personal data.

## 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.
