## 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: 2026-05-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-05-03 14:05:20 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-21 12:20:39 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-03 14:06:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy flags xboxone.xbox as an active brand impersonation scam impersonating Microsoft’s Xbox brand. The site deploys a fraudulent console sales page titled 'Neueste Xbox-Konsolen | Xbox' to trick users into entering payment or account credentials. No crypto drainer kit has been identified on this host, but the page closely mimics official Microsoft storefront content, increasing the risk of credential theft and financial fraud.

This domain exhibits multiple red flags. Registered through MarkMonitor Inc. on September 25, 2015, it resolves to IP 20.76.201.171 and holds an SSL certificate issued to Microsoft Corporation, likely leveraged to appear legitimate. VirusTotal shows 0/95 detection engines flagged the domain as malicious at the time of analysis. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet blacklisted it, and no public blocklist entries were found. The mismatch between the domain’s age and the recent appearance of a gaming-focused page suggests a compromised or purpose-built phishing site.

Currently active and unblocked, xboxone.xbox remains a high-risk domain due to its brand impersonation tactics and the potential for credential harvesting or payment fraud. Users accessing this domain are advised not to interact with it. Security teams should block the domain at the network level, revoke the SSL certificate if misused, and report the site to Microsoft’s abuse channels and GSB for takedown. Remaining risk is elevated due to the absence of detections and the domain’s clean historical reputation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7c562b1c2b03eac761285da62285e7c3
TLS cert SHA-256:      5b7e630074f5b452323f37d4ae45ffd6fd6ce8cc41c3c22e1ba840a26f5d1de6

## 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.
