## 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 16:33:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a significant threat as it attempts to drain cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users, using tactics like brand impersonation to gain trust. PhishDestroy identifies xpunkslab.club as a recently created site, registered on June 10, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and it has been flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a potential security risk. 

 The site's current offline status does not necessarily mean the threat has passed, as these sites can quickly move to new hosting. 

 If someone visited xpunkslab.club, they should immediately check their cryptocurrency wallets for any suspicious activity and consider changing their login credentials to prevent further unauthorized access, ensuring their financial security and protecting their digital assets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       5d6410fdd834d04b07b3ecfc5b07b2fe
TLS cert SHA-256:      36274e4185c5efdfa8214fdba702a59b075fea7e303dcdc7198597db6aa12772

## 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.
