## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-01 14:41:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-01 11:43:24 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-01 00:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-03 03:25:15 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:28:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

web3connectinnovation.com masquerades as a legitimate crypto buy and sell marketplace. The domain, created in February 2026, has been flagged by 4 out of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature. This site, now taken down, was first detected by PhishDestroy in June 2026, and had been listed in one public blocklist, including PhishDestroy's own.

The domain was registered through Internet Domain Service BS Corp and hosted on an IP address managed by LiquidNet US LLC, with SSL certification issued by Let's Encrypt. Despite its offline status, the site initially presented itself with the page title "Home - Web3connectinnovation - A crypto buy and sell marketplace," likely aiming to lure unsuspecting users into fraudulent transactions.

Phishing domains like web3connectinnovation.com exploit the initial gap between domain registration and widespread detection by antivirus databases, which can take 24-72 hours to update. PhishDestroy's early detection capabilities allow identification of such threats during this critical window, highlighting the importance of proactive threat intelligence. The platform risk score of 56/100 further underscores the potential threat level this domain posed before being taken offline.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260601-FDBF17
Favicon MD5:       7a81af8b2713003afb7adabd2c2851aa
TLS cert SHA-256:      292be4424ad0f114be324dad46972075be2229d3bc069fa62ba3ce89c23b3c19

## 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.
