## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 03:07:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, cakewalletsdesktop.live, is identified as a crypto drainer, posing a significant threat to users by impersonating a legitimate service. By presenting itself as 'Cake Wallet: Payment Made Easy,' it aims to deceive users into providing sensitive cryptocurrency information, potentially leading to unauthorized transactions or loss of digital assets.

The domain's threat is verified by multiple security checks; 18 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged it as malicious. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was created on May 29, 2026, which indicates recent activity. Its use of advanced technologies like HSTS and Cloudflare Browser Insights suggests a sophisticated attempt to appear legitimate.

If you have visited this domain, it is crucial to take immediate action to protect your assets. Disconnect from any associated accounts and change passwords as a precaution. Ensure your antivirus software is up-to-date and consider using a service that monitors for cryptocurrency theft. Reporting the domain to cybersecurity platforms can also help mitigate further risk to other users.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260601-D89856
Favicon MD5:       455729a00e66b9bf349cd676305c0bd7
TLS cert SHA-256:      cac94c387f3124ddea9a04271852896664fb0d1ff8a609dd118e2ae281a4f1ec

## 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.
