## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:33:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified acedigitalhub.online as a low-risk brand impersonation domain targeting Across. The site attempted to mimic the brand's look and feel, featuring a page titled 'Home|Libertysminings' to mislead visitors.

This domain resolved to IP address 163.61.188.5 and was flagged by one security vendor on VirusTotal. It appeared on a single blocklist and maintained very low trust scores from Gridinsoft and Scamadviser, indicating minimal credibility. Technical indicators suggest a basic impersonation scheme without high sophistication.

As of the latest analysis, acedigitalhub.online has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Continuous monitoring is recommended to detect any resurgence or related fraudulent activity under similar domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       c81c903979f0f4d26051da75d04aeeddb117d01081e0ca9cd8e41f602105e5c7
TLS cert SHA-256:      40ac75a8c6111c991919314e88724902e9d8c555e66f7a478b020a9e1dcfc1bb

## 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.
