## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:34:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies bittensor-ai.network as a medium-risk phishing domain involved in crypto draining activities. Its primary target was the Tensor brand, aiming to deceive users into compromising their crypto wallets. Although currently offline, the domain's prior activity warrants caution among the crypto community.

The domain was linked to the Angel Drainer kit and appeared on multiple security blocklists, indicating widespread detection. It resolved to IP address 216.198.79.1 and was registered via VERCEL-05 under ASN 16509. VirusTotal flagged it with several security vendors, confirming its malicious nature and reinforcing the legitimacy of the threat.

Users and organizations are advised to remain vigilant by avoiding unsolicited links referencing Tensor or related crypto projects. Employing updated threat detection tools and regularly monitoring blocklists can help mitigate risks. Since the domain is offline, immediate danger has lessened, but ongoing awareness is critical to prevent similar attacks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       98b98e225bfe04ddae81cc45bb93d18d8ea71caebd39a684d6819aa9f4f1674f

## 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.
