## 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: 2020-08-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-07-03 00:20:37 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-24 00:01:54 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-24 15:01:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain world.xyz, associated with a high threat score of 70/100, has been identified as a generic phishing operation and is currently down. It has been flagged by one out of 95 security vendors, specifically SOCRadar, and is listed on one public blocklist, indicating some level of recognition as malicious. Google Safe Browsing has not flagged this domain, suggesting it may not have been widely recognized until recently.

Registered on August 5, 2020, the domain's first detection in the database occurred on June 23, 2026. It is registered with Cloudflare, Inc. and hosted on IP address 188.114.97.3. The absence of a specific brand being impersonated indicates a broader phishing strategy rather than targeting a single entity.

Given the high threat score and the detection by a security vendor, block the domain at the perimeter and submit it to the registrar abuse desk for further action.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       833e1882e4c8fdfa242c05b899323cf2
TLS cert SHA-256:      2330674aa7d8626cdcfeec07965876edb266d38a45290a8e9e059cb4389c4f62

## 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.
