## 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: 2026-03-19 05:16:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies web3connective.online as a medium risk phishing threat targeting users interested in cryptocurrency trading. The domain was linked to generic phishing activities, posing potential risks to users seeking to buy or sell crypto assets.

Evidence supporting this classification includes its creation date on September 04, 2025, and its presence on four separate security blocklists. The domain was registered via Porkbun LLC and resolved to IP 107.173.193.235. VirusTotal flagged it by five out of ninety-five security vendors, indicating some recognition of malicious behavior. The page title, "Home - Web3 connects - A crypto buy and sell marketplace," suggests an attempt to lure victims with a crypto marketplace facade.

Currently, web3connective.online is offline, reducing immediate threat exposure. Users are advised to avoid visiting this domain or submitting any personal or financial information. Utilizing updated security tools and consulting threat intelligence platforms like PhishDestroy can help mitigate risks from similar phishing domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       8197b15b5d84ebad1c40f807e5f2cd8520076fab2df968ef922e556cb00bb8a6

## 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.
