  - www.web3trustbackup.com

## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 02:54:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This report analyzes the domain web3trustbackup.com, which presents a significant security concern as a potential phishing or scam site. The domain name combines "web3" and "trustbackup," suggesting an attempt to impersonate a cryptocurrency or decentralized finance platform, likely aiming to trick users into providing login credentials or private keys. The primary threat is credential theft or financial fraud, as the site may host a fake wallet or exchange interface.

Technical evidence shows the domain has zero detections from 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it is not widely recognized as malicious. However, it is listed on one blocklist. The domain is registered with Dynadot Inc, with an IP address of 208.98.35.172. The creation date is 2026-06-15, which is a future date and likely a data error, but the domain status is currently ACTIVE. Nameservers are ns1.site4now.net, ns2.site4now.net, and ns3.site4now.net.

The domain remains active and accessible, posing a moderate risk due to its lack of antivirus detection and specific targeting of web3 users. The future creation date is anomalous but does not affect current operational risk. Users should avoid interacting with this site until its legitimacy is confirmed.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260625-B19ECA
Favicon MD5:       7a81af8b2713003afb7adabd2c2851aa
TLS cert SHA-256:      a3126def04ddcb4b7d216e4a3c92f7681875f5aebcf488514f523761bb446460

## 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 (operator 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.
