## 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: 2025-11-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2025-12-12 22:26:02 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-04-21 12:00:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-15 12:07:05 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:16:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies xdefi.app as an active high-risk crypto drainer domain exploiting users through Wallet Connect abuse. This threat targets cryptocurrency holders by impersonating legitimate swap services, aiming to drain wallets via social engineering tactics. Users interacting with this domain are at significant risk of losing digital assets.

The domain xdefi.app resolves to IP 216.150.1.129 and was registered through Name.com, Inc on November 12, 2025. It has been flagged on multiple security blocklists and shows a social engineering warning on Google Safe Browsing. VirusTotal analysis indicates detection by 17 out of 95 security vendors, while AlienVault OTX associates it with known malicious pulse activity. The underlying attack leverages a drainer kit focused on Wallet Connect abuse, a sophisticated method to hijack wallet sessions.

Currently, xdefi.app remains active and continues to pose a significant threat to users within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. PhishDestroy strongly recommends avoiding any interaction with this domain, updating security software, and verifying wallet connections before authorizing transactions. Users should also monitor their wallets for unauthorized activity and report suspicious domains to cybersecurity authorities promptly.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c12eb40bf5042f94ac0bc91aaee4138a
TLS cert SHA-256:      9e21eb30baf98e131bb3134af5b87bd10047bc7643641f1ce50ffaf577383efb

## 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.
