## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:45:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies airdrop-troll.io as a high-risk malicious domain targeting generic cryptocurrency users. It masquerades as a crypto service under the page title 'Troll Network' to lure victims.
The domain was registered on 2025-10-30 via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to IP 23.177.185.92. It uses the Angel Drainer kit, appears on 7 security blocklists, and is flagged by multiple antivirus engines. AlienVault OTX has detected it in a threat pulse.
This domain remains active and poses an ongoing threat. Immediate blocking and monitoring are recommended to protect users from crypto asset theft and credential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       1ee4e442d81fc6b7493d22178ab0b697
TLS cert SHA-256:      cf4cda7dac710c89207d9eb9f4adea9c26b464c6d853524e5b57955f55918583

## 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.
