## 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 17:01:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies web3capitalai.cyou as a crypto phishing site, currently offline. The domain was found to pose a significant threat to users, masquerading as a legitimate entity to deceive victims. 

 This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a potential security risk, and was registered through Nicnames, Inc., resolving to the IP address 159.203.143.218. It was created on May 08, 2026, and has been listed on 3 security blocklists, further solidifying its malicious nature. 

 As web3capitalai.cyou is currently offline, it is fortunate that the threat has been mitigated, but users are still advised to exercise caution when encountering similar domains, and to always verify the authenticity of websites before providing sensitive information, to avoid falling prey to such scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b8881e93bb648c6a652ead546572ecbb
TLS cert SHA-256:      27aa3deca45dc25e0434d1098fb6ab99c79dda03ab3e79c3dcba40f77d10a113

## 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.
