Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Nicnames, Inc.
Registered:      2026-04-22
Expires:         2027-04-22
HTTP response:   429

## 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

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-05 00:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-24 21:32:15 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 22:28:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain verify-wallet.icu is identified as a high-risk crypto drainer. It is suspected to be used for draining cryptocurrency from user wallets, leveraging sophisticated techniques to bypass initial security checks and trick users into surrendering their wallet credentials.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that verify-wallet.icu has a VirusTotal detection score of 18/95, indicating that a significant number of security vendors recognize it as malicious. The domain is registered through Nicnames, Inc., and was created on April 22, 2026. It appears on 3 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The domain's IP address is not publicly listed, which can be a tactic to avoid detection and tracing.

Currently, the domain is offline, which suggests that it may have been taken down by security measures or the operators may have ceased operations temporarily. Despite this, the remaining risk is high due to the potential for the domain to be reactivated or re-purposed. Response actions should include updating security filters and educating users about the dangers of crypto drainers. Continuous monitoring of the domain is recommended to detect any future activity.

## 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 (operator 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.
