## 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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-15 02:18:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-22 12:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-16 13:22:35 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:37:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies verify-badge-vip18.pages.dev as a domain involved in credential theft, specifically targeting unsuspecting users with the aim of stealing sensitive login information, potentially impersonating a well-known brand to deceive victims, but no specific drainer kit has been directly linked to this activity. 
   
The domain verify-badge-vip18.pages.dev, created on June 15, 2026, and registered through Cloudflare Pages, presents a notable threat with 16 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it, and it resolves to the IP address 172.66.44.128, while also appearing on 1 security blocklist, further indicating its malicious nature, and its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1.

The current status of verify-badge-vip18.pages.dev is offline, as indicated by the page title 'Suspected Phishing | Cloudflare', suggesting that measures have been taken to mitigate its threat, however, the risk remains as the domain's existence and previous activities may still pose a threat to users who have interacted with it, thus, it is crucial for users to remain vigilant and take action to protect their credentials, such as changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication wherever possible, to minimize the risk of credential theft.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      228c184b481a448d8f6b099a0be0ae0283c145cec81ae06c764e66040c83ae2b

## 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.
