## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-27 04:49:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

256138.com High‑Risk Generic Phishing Campaign Detected

On July 27, 2026 the domain 256138.com was observed as an active generic phishing infrastructure. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on March 12, 2023 and currently resolves to the IPv4 address 103.193.148.167. Authoritative name servers v1s1.xundns.com and v1s2.xundns.com are configured for the zone, indicating use of the XunDNS service. Multiple security products have flagged the domain; a VirusTotal scan returned 7 positive detections out of 91 submitted engines, and the domain appears on one external blocklist.

The PhishDestroy community feed also lists the domain as blocked. No additional public intelligence such as page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes has been released, leaving the exact phishing payload and targeted brand unspecified. The combination of a relatively recent registration, dedicated name servers, a single hosting IP, and multiple vendor detections suggests a purpose‑built phishing campaign rather than an accidental compromise. Defenders should immediately add 256138.com to network and DNS blocklists, monitor outbound connections to 103.193.148.167, and consider sinkholing the associated name servers.

Continuous re‑scanning of the domain with multi‑engine services is recommended to capture any changes in detection rates. Organizations employing email filtering should treat any messages containing links to this domain as malicious, and incident response teams should investigate any user reports of login prompts or credential submission attempts involving the domain. Ongoing observation of the registrar’s WHOIS record and the DNS configuration may reveal future modifications that indicate escalation or shift in campaign tactics.

## 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 (operator 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.
