## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-02 15:00:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain bandicam.cc is classified as a generic phishing threat and remains under active investigation. This domain impersonates the legitimate Bandicam screen and game recording software, as evidenced by its page title referencing Bandicam features and support. The domain is currently active and accessible, posing a potential risk to users seeking the genuine Bandicam product.

Technical analysis reveals that bandicam.cc was created on January 30, 2026, and resolves to IP address 172.67.147.189. It was registered through Spaceship, Inc. VirusTotal analysis shows 0 detections out of 95 vendors, indicating the domain has not yet been flagged by security engines. No blocklist entries or trust scores are available in the provided intelligence. The lack of detection may reflect the domain's recent creation or its avoidance of known malicious patterns.

As of the current assessment, bandicam.cc remains active and under investigation. Recommendations include monitoring the domain for changes in resolution or content, adding it to blocklists proactively, and advising users to verify software download sources directly from official Bandicam channels. Security teams should treat this domain with caution pending further analysis.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260702-B05819
TLS cert SHA-256:      3c80b6b282ed2f04a5d2d04977a29f52fdf9687c9aec4d149cc4435af1442f3a

## 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.
