## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-24 03:40:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

chadcoin.io: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis conducted on July 24, 2026 confirms that chadcoin.io is actively being used as a phishing infrastructure. The domain was registered on July 02, 2026 through Namecheap Inc and is currently resolved to the address 104.21.87.59, which is hosted on Cloudflare’s network as indicated by the authoritative name servers aitana.ns.cloudflare.com and andronicus.ns.cloudflare.com. Reputation checks show the domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been listed by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal scanned the host and 15 of 91 AV engines returned a malicious classification, reinforcing the suspicion of abuse.

The recent creation date combined with the rapid appearance on blocklists suggests a short‑lived campaign. No additional public intelligence such as Safe Browsing verdicts, OTX references, or SSL certificate details are available from the provided data, leaving the broader scope of the operation uncertain. Defenders should block traffic to 104.21.87.59 and add chadcoin.io to internal deny lists.

Monitoring of the associated Cloudflare name servers for new sub‑domains is recommended, as threat actors often leverage the same infrastructure for multiple phishing sites. Continuous re‑evaluation of VirusTotal and other reputation feeds is advised to capture any changes in detection rate. Organizations receiving emails referencing “ChadCoin” or similar cryptocurrency offers should treat such messages as malicious and verify any links against the domain reputation data.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      60511d8910735029e7e0da938fb7a0098328ac8cf59ffe82bb2a3bacaa85fff4

## 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.
