## 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: 2026-06-24 20:26:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain web3smartledger.com is a phishing site that impersonates the legitimate Ledger brand, specifically targeting cryptocurrency wallet users. The site poses as a Ledger-related web3 service to deceive visitors into disclosing sensitive information such as seed phrases or private keys, leading to potential theft of digital assets.

Technical analysis shows the domain was flagged by 7 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, and Gridinsoft. It is listed on one blocklist. The domain was created on 2026-04-15, registered through Dynadot Inc, and resolves to IP address 208.98.35.172. Its nameservers are ns1.site4now.net, ns2.site4now.net, and ns3.site4now.net.

The domain status is ACTIVE, with a DOM risk score of 55, indicating a moderate risk level. Given its active state and impersonation of a trusted brand, users should avoid interacting with this site.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260624-F28FD6
Favicon MD5:       aa70d47f20c50964af36acc6d4bb661c
TLS cert SHA-256:      84a60ec867c757c7a822812dde6bc30dab99d6f60bbb0ba5c38e1a04c642a070

## 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.
