## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     YR1
Expires:    2026-09-30
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: 2026-07-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-06 18:14:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-10 18:40:22 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-06 19:16:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, vnsmartcoin.com, is identified as a high-risk cryptocurrency phishing site targeting users of the Smartchain platform. Analysis indicates the site employs generic phishing tactics, likely designed to harvest wallet credentials or private keys through deceptive interfaces mimicking legitimate blockchain services. No specific drainer kit signatures have been confirmed, but the page title 'Smartchain' suggests an intent to impersonate or exploit trust in blockchain-related services.

Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators of compromise. The domain resolves to IP address 217.216.32.97 and was registered through Name.com, Inc. on July 03, 2026, a future date that may indicate falsified registration details or a system error. VirusTotal reports 15 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while Google Safe Browsing explicitly categorizes it under 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING.' The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common but not exclusive indicator of legitimate or malicious sites, as threat actors frequently use valid certificates to evade detection.

As of the latest assessment, vnsmartcoin.com has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, the domain remains registered and could be reactivated or repurposed for future campaigns. Users who interacted with the site should assume credential compromise and take immediate remediation steps, including revoking wallet access, monitoring transactions, and rotating passwords. Organizations should block the domain and IP at the network level to prevent potential re-emergence. The combination of falsified registration data, social engineering flags, and vendor detections underscores the high-risk nature of this infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon MD5:       3ca96a29eb37c09a59136399af3e0214

## 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.
