## 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: 2026-03-03 16:51:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies the domain ykd.life as a low-risk phishing threat that was recently taken offline. While the risk level is low, this domain posed a potential danger by attempting to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. Phishing threats like this often appear legitimate but are designed to trick victims into sharing passwords, financial details, or personal data.

The phishing campaign linked to ykd.life operated by hosting fraudulent pages that mimicked trustworthy websites or services. Visitors to the site were likely prompted to enter confidential information, which attackers could then steal and use for identity theft or financial fraud. This domain was flagged on one security blocklist and detected by a small number of security vendors, further indicating its malicious intent before it went offline.

If someone visited ykd.life, it is important to take precautions immediately. Avoid entering any personal data on the site and run a comprehensive antivirus and anti-malware scan on your devices. Change any passwords that could have been exposed, especially for email, banking, and other sensitive accounts. Monitoring financial statements and enabling multi-factor authentication can also help mitigate potential damage. Staying informed and cautious is critical in protecting yourself from phishing threats such as those once hosted on ykd.life.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      070c831450d5d0613bf8ba02357d51e5ad92158b6eee2c975c4df1ceeb2c2ea1

## 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.
