## 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 16:35:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain zhgwexpouyi.info has been identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. This phishing domain attempted to deceive users by presenting a page titled 'Earn rewards when you get started on OKX | My referral code: 49758894 | OKX Europe', leveraging a referral code to appear legitimate. The site was designed to harvest login credentials or personal information from unsuspecting victims seeking cryptocurrency rewards.

Technical indicators reveal that the domain was flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection. It was registered through Dynadot Inc on February 11, 2026, and resolved to IP address 54.215.31.113. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (YR2), and the domain appeared on one security blocklist. Notably, Google Safe Browsing did not flag the domain, which may have allowed it to operate undetected for a period.

The domain is currently offline, having been taken down following detection. PhishDestroy recommends that users who may have interacted with zhgwexpouyi.info immediately change their OKX passwords and enable two-factor authentication. Remaining risk is low due to the takedown, but vigilance against similar phishing attempts is advised.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-8D2910
Favicon MD5:       0d103038f292a76aa3a177eabccf8274
TLS cert SHA-256:      9e5ca6aaf5ff881db793d8c82600c1f77bbb89bbd77e955b3559589c1e5aa990

## 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.
