## 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: 2026-06-29 17:16:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain vnsmartcoin.live is identified as a phishing threat that aims to deceive users into revealing sensitive personal information or credentials. It is active and appears to be a replica of legitimate cryptocurrency platforms, specifically using the title 'Smartchain' to mislead potential victims.

Evidence supporting the threat level of vnsmartcoin.live includes its creation date of June 27, 2026, and its registration through Name.com, Inc. Additionally, this domain has been flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant level of scrutiny and concern from the cybersecurity community. These indicators, combined with its active status and hosted IP address 217.216.32.97, suggest a persistent attempt to lure users into fraudulent activities.

Users who have interacted with vnsmartcoin.live should take immediate actions such as ceasing any engagement with the site, monitoring their accounts for unauthorized activity, and considering changing their passwords for any accounts that may have been exposed. Reporting this domain to cybersecurity authorities can also aid in mitigating the threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260629-0CC5D7
Favicon MD5:       3ca96a29eb37c09a59136399af3e0214
TLS cert SHA-256:      8422ef396057787e48fc8e0fe7983b9afb17de4efef778042382830f71c726e2

## 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.
