## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      4/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
AlienVault OTX:  2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     CloudFlare, Inc.
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

web3-hongkong.cc — Generic Phishing Investigation

Web3-hongkong.cc was registered on 23 June 2026 through NameSilo, LLC and is currently resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain is served behind Cloudflare DNS, using the authoritative name servers piper.ns.cloudflare.com and santino.ns.cloudflare.com. An SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1) is present, indicating that TLS is configured but does not authenticate the legitimacy of the site. VirusTotal has recorded detections by 2 of 91 scanning engines, which aligns with a generic phishing classification. The domain is listed as active and carries a high risk rating. No additional infrastructure details such as ASN or hosting provider are disclosed beyond the IP address. The short lifespan of the domain—less than one month—combined with the limited detection count suggests a fast‑flux style deployment designed to evade early takedown. At present, the exact phishing payload, targeted brand, or landing page content has not been publicly analysed, leaving the specific victim vector uncertain. Defenders should block network traffic to 188.114.97.3, enforce DNS filtering for web3-hongkong.cc, monitor Cloudflare name‑server resolutions for changes, and include the domain in URL reputation feeds. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and similar platforms is recommended to capture any emerging signatures.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9593a53562b6f59fb25a5c59d977fb7c
TLS cert SHA-256:      d3141283ad97bff43772b9c2146d5b73621d0b779f48932a525e0029757cb079

## 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.
