## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Drainer

## 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: 2026-05-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-02 19:20:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-05-02 19:19:55 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-08 06:36:03 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-02 19:20:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies wickstripe.shop as an active crypto drainer phishing domain leveraging brand impersonation tactics. This domain mimics legitimate cryptocurrency service interfaces to trick users into connecting wallets and approving malicious token transfers. No specific drainer kit fingerprint has been confirmed, but the site exhibits classic injection behaviors typical of pre-built phishing toolkits targeting Web3 users. The domain's recent registration and minimal infrastructure suggest a high-velocity campaign designed for rapid deployment and takedown evasion.

Technical indicators reveal concerning metrics: VirusTotal currently shows 1/95 detections despite active phishing activity, indicating either zero-day infrastructure or delayed detection coverage. The domain resolves to IP 34.111.179.208 via Let's Encrypt SSL (valid certificate), registered through an anonymized registrar with creation date occurring within the last 90 days. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unflagged, while third-party blocklists contain zero current entries. These metrics suggest this domain is actively evading conventional security layers.

Current status remains under investigation as security teams analyze payload delivery mechanisms. Immediate response includes adding wickstripe.shop to enterprise blocklists and browser extension blacklists. Remaining risk is assessed as HIGH due to the domain's active status, crypto-specific targeting, and unflagged status across major security platforms. Users are advised to avoid interactions and report any wallet connection attempts to their security teams immediately.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       73814db2b7835ab01b700d61f852961f
TLS cert SHA-256:      5dfcec455d5dfaf317855eab0015c6f0420113ee1fae474c7b9ef90f6ee17406

## 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.
