  Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar
AlienVault OTX:  2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      52.196.164.55 (JP, Tokyo)
ASN:             ASAS16509 AMAZON-02, US

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: 2026-03-19 02:30:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified xscoins.cc as a medium-risk generic phishing domain actively targeting unsuspecting users. The site, which presents a page titled "hisgo," is used to deceive visitors and potentially harvest sensitive information. This domain has been detected in multiple threat intelligence feeds, indicating ongoing malicious activity linked to phishing campaigns.

Technical analysis reveals that xscoins.cc was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 52.196.164.55. It has been tagged in two AlienVault OTX pulses and appears on three notable security blocklists. Furthermore, VirusTotal scans show that 7 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain for suspicious behaviors, underscoring its dubious nature.

The domain remains active and continues to pose a threat to users. PhishDestroy strongly recommends network defenders and end users to block xscoins.cc and monitor for any related phishing attempts. Staying vigilant and leveraging threat intelligence updates will help mitigate risks from this ongoing phishing operation associated with the domain.

## 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.
