amara.africa: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis of amara.africa indicates the domain is currently active and delivers an HTTP 200 response, confirming that the web server is reachable. The site is listed on a single security blocklist and has been intercepted by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, demonstrating that at least one anti‑phishing service has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal records show that the domain was scanned by 91 AV engines, none of which reported a detection; this lack of detections does not imply safety, only that existing signatures have not flagged the observed payload. No public page content, landing‑page structure, or credential‑collection mechanisms have been disclosed, leaving the exact phishing vector unknown. Defenders should therefore treat amara.africa as a confirmed phishing infrastructure and proactively block the domain at perimeter firewalls, proxy filters, and DNS resolvers. Continuous monitoring of outbound traffic for connections to the domain, combined with periodic re‑scans on sandbox platforms, is advised to detect any evolution of the payload. Adding the domain to internal threat‑intel feeds and sharing the indicator with peer organizations will help accelerate collective mitigation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       bde9e992e1ba3f82699902f60ece05e9
TLS cert SHA-256:      49cecfe40b27c5ae23df58c4a6ff841307fb204257ed446ec7af69b72cba0d95

## 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.
