## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------

Composite threat score: 52/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:42:04 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-dns-id.to as a high-risk domain due to its involvement in credential phishing, a specific threat type that targets users' login credentials. This domain was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant level of malicious activity, and was registered through the Government of Kingdom of Tonga on June 01, 2026, it also appears on 1 security blocklist, although its current status is offline.

The domain's creation date and registration details suggest a potential attempt to disguise its true intentions, with the registrar being the Government of Kingdom of Tonga, and it is currently taken offline, however, the fact that 6 security vendors have flagged it, along with its appearance on 1 security blocklist, underscores the need for caution. The unique seed 8db3fe has been used to analyze this domain, providing a deeper understanding of its malicious activities.

To mitigate the risks associated with credential phishing, users are advised to exercise extreme caution when interacting with verify-dns-id.to, and to avoid providing sensitive information, such as login credentials, on any website that may be linked to this domain, as this could lead to unauthorized access to their accounts, it is also recommended to use two-factor authentication and to keep software and security solutions up to date, to prevent potential attacks.

## 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.
