## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:08:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

academyhttps.com is an active phishing domain that employs cloaking techniques to evade detection. Despite being flagged by 4 out of 92 vendors on VirusTotal, it serves benign content to scanners, evidenced by its low cloaking score of 1/10. This tactic allows the domain to remain operational while targeting unsuspecting users.

The domain is registered with Wild West Domains, LLC and is hosted on an IP address managed by Oracle Corporation in the United States. Its SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for malicious actors due to its free and automated nature. The domain is currently listed on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating a recognized threat to users.

The use of cloaking by academyhttps.com highlights the sophistication of modern phishing operations. By presenting harmless content to security scanners, the domain can maintain a low profile while executing its malicious activities. This method complicates detection efforts and underscores the importance of advanced threat intelligence solutions that can identify such threats early in their lifecycle.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       5bf18d6862cf14d785278b663ddf5479
TLS cert SHA-256:      edcabe6806d858b6279e3ec2b36d6b2d90b079bee665c0fad1f5866e34f3a611

## 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.
