## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:16:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

cityinnparis.hostel.town is currently active and serves a page titled “City Inn Paris - Paris, France”. The domain resolves to 172.86.104.14, an IP registered to US‑based FranTech Solutions. DNS resolution uses the authoritative nameservers launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net, both associated with the registrar Spaceship, Inc. HTTP requests return status 200 and the site runs a typical LAMP stack with WordPress, MySQL, PHP, Nginx and HTTP/3 enabled. The TLS certificate is issued by ZeroSSL GmbH under the ZeroSSL ECC DV SSL CA 2 chain. Threat intelligence indicates the site is engaged in credential phishing, targeting credentials likely related to the “City Inn Paris” brand. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is listed as blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal analysis shows 19 of 91 scanners flag the domain as malicious, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing the high‑risk assessment. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeter, add it to endpoint allow‑list exclusions, and monitor DNS queries for the associated IP and nameservers. Additional investigation is needed to capture the exact phishing payload and to determine whether the site harvests credentials via form submission, as the page content has not been publicly examined.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 19/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       8b82b402972f10d24edb90e234d4e23e
TLS cert SHA-256:      67a97cd1381f6984c2c459990d9fa0599869b51cd80116585cb43067ba5f6a76

## 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.
