Evidence summary #
Three confirmed suspicious impersonator domains identified. (1) sanctumsol.com: registered 2026-05-04 minus 706 days = 2024-05-27. Trust score 0/100 per ScamAdviser. Flagged as malware by Gridinsoft and threat by DNSFilter. Cryptocurrency-focused with hidden WHOIS. Likely Sanctum impersonator. (2) sanctums.network: registered 2024-05-29 (delta 704 days). Trust score 0/100. Flagged suspicious by IPQS. Claims LST trading on Solana — direct product impersonation. Hidden WHOIS. (3) sanctumus.com: registered 2025-07-14 (delta 294 days). Trust score low; caution recommended. Hidden WHOIS. Registration-date delta vs 90-day taxonomy window: all three are outside the 90-day new-registration alert threshold (sanctumsol.com: 706 days; sanctums.network: 704 days; sanctumus.com: 294 days) — the signal does not fire on current-window criteria but persistent impersonation risk is elevated. Historical precedent: July 30, 2024 unstake.it domain loss confirmed phishing use. Yellow score reflects confirm
