## ANALYST NARRATIVE

affinitytrades.online Credential Harvesting Site Detected

The domain affinitytrades.online was registered on March 20 2024 through Namecheap Inc and is currently using the namecheaphosting.com name servers. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 198.54.115.219. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal records indicate that the site was submitted to 91 scanning engines, none of which reported a malicious verdict at the time of analysis.

No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title information are available in the current intelligence set. The lack of visible brand references or page content means the exact phishing lure cannot be confirmed, but the classification as a generic credential‑harvesting site is consistent with the threat type tag. Uncertainty remains regarding the hosting provider’s location, any active command‑and‑control infrastructure, and whether the domain is currently serving malicious payloads.

Defenders should add affinitytrades.online to DNS sinkhole or block lists, monitor network traffic for connections to 198.54.115.219, and enforce email filters that detect suspicious links pointing to this domain. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised to capture any future changes in payload or detection status. Organizations that use credential‑based authentication should treat any login request originating from this domain as fraudulent until proven otherwise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      2b7de7f0f71a820025cbbce6fa947adcff1a2b5cf268cbb3dba8ba88b6b8cf07

## 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.
