## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:39:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies adoptmekorean.com as a site posing a significant threat by impersonating the popular online game Adopt Me, attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. This domain was flagged due to its recent creation on May 19, 2026, and being registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, with 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, alongside appearing on 1 security blocklist and being found in 4 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. 

 The domain's legitimacy is further questioned by its association with the IP address 216.198.79.1 and the use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while legitimate, can be exploited by malicious actors. 

 If a user has visited adoptmekorean.com, they should immediately check their accounts for any suspicious activity, update their passwords, and ensure their devices are running the latest security updates, as this domain has been taken offline but may have already caused harm, with its generic phishing type indicating a potential for widespread targeting.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       3c8dfb84f3f0514cfde33c7a2682e0f5
TLS cert SHA-256:      892ed7e3f21abe2eb8cbc8901cf2904ef34e466ea6a033cf558e7ee6d1108489

## 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.
