================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-20 23:33:52 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/xbeta.dev/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.171.80
Registrar:       Namecheap Inc.
Nameservers:     kianchau.ns.cloudflare.com, leia.ns.cloudflare.com
Registered:      2026-05-25
Expires:         2026-07-28

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-06-18 16:51:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The risk level associated with xbeta.dev is elevated due to its generic phishing nature, which can lead to various types of scams, including crypto drainers and fake logins. 
   
This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it was registered through Namecheap Inc., resolving to the IP address 172.67.171.80, which was created on May 25, 2026, and now appears on 4 security blocklists, indicating a potentially malicious intent, as it lacks an SSL certificate, a critical security measure.

To mitigate the risks associated with xbeta.dev, users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with this domain, ensuring they verify its legitimacy on platforms like PhishDestroy, and being cautious of generic phishing tactics, such as impersonating reputable brands, which can lead to significant financial losses, thus, it is crucial to stay informed and vigilant to protect against such threats, as this domain is currently offline, but its history and indicators suggest a potential for future malicious activity

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260525-0F23F7
Favicon MD5:       45d047216d0c6e3565383fb2f2bbd46d

## 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.
