## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is
waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-03-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-03-21 04:02:23 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-21 01:04:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-21 16:07:51 UTC
Current status:    ACTIVE / observable

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:22:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies xweb3.net as a domain under investigation for generic phishing schemes, posing potential risks to online users. Although no security vendors have flagged this domain on VirusTotal, its association with an "Official Institutional Presale" page title suggests attempts to lure victims with fraudulent investment opportunities.

This phishing attempt likely exploits interest in cryptocurrency presales, tricking visitors into providing sensitive information or engaging in transactions under false pretenses. The domain was registered recently, on March 20, 2026, and resolves to an IP address associated with PublicDomainRegistry.com. Attackers may leverage such domains to imitate legitimate crypto projects, increasing the chance of deceiving unaware users.

If you have accessed xweb3.net, it is crucial to avoid entering any personal or financial data. Users should immediately monitor their accounts for suspicious activity and consider changing passwords if credentials were submitted. Reporting the domain to your security team or using tools like PhishDestroy can help mitigate further exposure. Staying vigilant against emerging phishing sites like xweb3.net is key to maintaining online safety.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260321-B60ED2
TLS cert SHA-256:      657b30662e27e75b1502141d671ff9400fc687092da68907d807ee4f12d2dd73

## 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.
