## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-16 01:20:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

beta.splunk.me was registered on March 22, 2026 through the registrar Spaceship, Inc. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 179.43.150.242 and currently remains active. VirusTotal has recorded detections from five of ninety‑one scanned security vendors, indicating that at least a subset of scanners consider the host malicious. The domain’s authoritative name servers could not be resolved (NS_NOT_FOUND), which hampers further DNS‑level attribution. No public page content, landing‑page screenshot, or phishing‑kit fingerprint has been disclosed, so the exact lure or targeted brand cannot be confirmed. The combination of a recent registration, active resolution, and multiple vendor flags aligns with the generic_phishing classification assigned to the domain. Defenders should treat beta.splunk.me as high‑risk: add the FQDN and its IP address to block lists, monitor outbound DNS queries for the domain, and enforce email filtering rules that quarantine messages containing URLs to this host. Continued observation of any changes to the name‑server configuration or additional VirusTotal detections is recommended to refine the risk posture.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      fb1ccccab73aeda64ecbd118eed157ba47e49f74eadfe3eb1eebc23fc3dc430d

## 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.
