Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/x-yieldbasis.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21

## 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: 2026-03-03 15:54:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies x-yieldbasis.com as a medium-risk phishing domain that was recently taken offline. Phishing sites like this are dangerous because they attempt to trick users into revealing sensitive information such as passwords, financial details, or personal data. Even though the domain is currently offline, its registration through a dead domain and appearance on multiple security blocklists highlight its suspicious nature.

This phishing scheme typically operates by mimicking legitimate financial or investment platforms to lure victims into a false sense of trust. Users who visit x-yieldbasis.com might have encountered deceptive content designed to steal login credentials or install malware. The domain's creation in early 2026 and detection by several security vendors indicate it was likely used in recent fraudulent campaigns targeting unsuspecting individuals.

If you have visited x-yieldbasis.com, it is crucial to take immediate precautions. Avoid entering any personal or financial information on suspicious sites and run a comprehensive security scan on your device to detect potential malware. Additionally, monitor your accounts for unusual activity and consider changing passwords linked to financial services. Staying informed and cautious can help prevent falling victim to phishing attacks like those associated with x-yieldbasis.com.

## 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.
