## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-05 04:10:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cardano-zendesk.firebaseapp.com as an active generic phishing domain targeting users under the guise of Cardano support. The site is classified as a medium-risk threat due to its aim to deceive victims into divulging sensitive information by mimicking a trusted entity.

The domain resolves to IP address 199.36.158.100 and is hosted on Firebase, registered through Google LLC. It currently appears on four security blocklists, indicating recognition by multiple threat detection systems. The phishing page title 'Cardano Support' suggests an attempt to exploit users seeking assistance with Cardano-related services.

This phishing campaign remains active, reinforcing the need for vigilance. Users are advised to avoid interacting with the domain and report any suspicious communications referencing it. Continued monitoring and blocking efforts are recommended to mitigate potential impact.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      3a624e93b77da8b050b290c363e3f5683fdfaa1c689664c367acbcfabf09f3a3

## 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.
