illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:

## 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:    2026-06-15 06:47:16 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-11 19:50:44 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:10:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies xcafe-dex.live as an elevated risk due to its generic phishing nature, which can lead to significant financial losses and identity theft. 
   
This domain was flagged by AlienVault OTX in 1 threat intelligence pulse and resolves to IP 172.67.221.25, it was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 03, 2026, and appears on 1 security blocklist, with 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it, and it has a Let's Encrypt / E7 SSL certificate, indicating potential malicious intent.

To mitigate the threat posed by xcafe-dex.live, users should be cautious when interacting with the domain, as it has been taken offline, and avoid providing sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial information, and keep their antivirus software up to date, as the domain has been flagged by multiple security vendors, and consider reporting any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities, to prevent further damage from this generic phishing site.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       95704a3e043344cb369901ce67683f0c
TLS cert SHA-256:      06ad0c6afd69035fe79d4d1cc906dd4b435048e3f333e2fef1d5ff5f81d10476

## 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.
