## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:10:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies account-recovery-process-google.com as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Google users. This phishing threat aims to deceive victims by mimicking Google's account recovery process, potentially leading to credential theft and unauthorized access.

The domain was registered on March 21, 2026, via Dynadot Inc and resolves to IP 216.24.57.1. VirusTotal flags it as malicious by 15 out of 95 security vendors, indicating a significant risk. The infrastructure supports high confidence in its phishing intent.

Users should avoid interacting with this domain and never enter personal or login information on suspicious sites. Always verify URLs carefully, access Google services through official channels, and report any suspicious activity to security teams or platforms like PhishDestroy.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260322-20E509
Favicon MD5:       44f5917b88a7fcc0b5635b3ee7f321bb
TLS cert SHA-256:      a07afa4939eaa1eca0d0128c889000cf28d3a120302fa4a86988318aa1cc6ec9

## 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.
