## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-19 03:54:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The altexfinance.org site poses a significant threat as it is designed to drain cryptocurrency from unsuspecting visitors, by impersonating a legitimate financial institution. This domain was flagged as malicious due to its recent creation on August 17, 2023, and the fact that 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged it, indicating a high level of suspicion, and it is registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. 

 The indicators of this threat are clear, with the site resolving to IP 185.244.151.84 and having a Let's Encrypt / YR2 SSL certificate, which does not necessarily guarantee its legitimacy, and as of now, the domain is still active. 

 If a user has visited this site, they should immediately verify their account activity and report any suspicious transactions, as the site's primary goal is to trick users into divulging sensitive financial information, and it is essential to be cautious when interacting with financial institutions online, especially those that seem suspicious or unfamiliar, to avoid falling victim to such scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260619-FA972E
TLS cert SHA-256:      abef187ae15bda1f5718ded95cee9798289ceb02a56506664fdb9fd72b8934f1

## 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.
