TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: d46e1a223c295273309d703b2997620e545b39f24ee240c06e91249f35094585
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.web3shield.online

## 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-18 00:23:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 21:23:58 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-21 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-21 22:05:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-18 00:24:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies web3shield.online as a fraudulent domain operating as a crypto drainer, designed to trick users into connecting wallets and stealing cryptocurrency. The site masquerades as a legitimate crypto marketplace under the branding 'CryptoWEB3.0connect,' luring victims with promises of buying and selling digital assets.  This domain exhibits multiple red flags confirmed by PhishDestroy’s investigation. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 security engines detecting malicious content, indicating evasion of automated defenses. The domain was registered through Unstoppable Domains Inc. on April 05, 2026—an unusually recent registration suggesting opportunistic fraud. Additionally, the domain resolves to IP address 94.183.235.90, which has no established reputation as a legitimate crypto service provider.  Users who visited web3shield.online should take immediate action to secure their assets. Disconnect any connected wallets, revoke any unintended token approvals, and scan devices for malware. Report suspicious activity to your wallet provider and avoid interacting with this domain or any linked addresses. Exercise heightened caution with newly registered domains offering crypto services, as these frequently serve as fronts for drainer scripts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260417-4D3009
TLS cert SHA-256:      d46e1a223c295273309d703b2997620e545b39f24ee240c06e91249f35094585

## 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.
