## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-23 14:09:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies the active credential-phishing domain BayouByte.org as part of an ongoing campaign designed to harvest user login credentials and sensitive personal information.

This domain was flagged by 13 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, raising an elevated risk signal due to its recent creation and active hosting infrastructure. BayouByte.org resolves to IP address 163.61.188.7, is registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, and was created on October 2, 2025. The domain operates under a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, enhancing its appearance of legitimacy while concealing malicious intent.

Current telemetry confirms active phishing pages hosted on this domain, targeting users with spoofed login interfaces. Risk remains elevated as the infrastructure is newly established and lacks historical trust. To mitigate exposure, organizations and individuals are advised to block 163.61.188.7 at the network perimeter and disable access to BayouByte.org via DNS filtering. Users who may have entered credentials are urged to reset passwords immediately and enable multi-factor authentication on all relevant accounts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260423-AF7447
Favicon MD5:       edd05a7f2e62bcc1a5c583588d2d4d38
TLS cert SHA-256:      ce3bfbb620276fec20b922e23f6881a89726fe1e63ef754f97c85606698662cc

## 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.
