## 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 23:22:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:04:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies veltoconnect.com as an active domain impersonating the well-known cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. Although it is currently classified as low risk, this domain poses potential danger by attempting to deceive users into believing they are interacting with the authentic Coinbase site. Such impersonation can lead to compromised personal information or unauthorized access to cryptocurrency accounts.

This phishing scheme operates by mimicking Coinbase’s brand to lure users into visiting veltoconnect.com, which may prompt them to enter sensitive login credentials or private keys. The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and despite a very low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft, it appears on multiple security blocklists. The site resolves to IP 92.112.189.173 and is flagged by one security vendor on VirusTotal, suggesting some detection but limited exposure so far.

If you have visited veltoconnect.com, it is crucial to immediately refrain from entering any personal or financial information. Users should change their Coinbase passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor their accounts for suspicious activity. Running a comprehensive antivirus and anti-malware scan is also recommended. Staying vigilant and verifying URLs before interacting with cryptocurrency platforms can prevent falling victim to such brand impersonation attacks.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 4/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      0d385af30d9bbba6ed1b74454a59df098fcf1f3eeaa20b2dec5caf7d44084304

## 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.
