## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-25 08:06:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

congecko.xyz Phishing Site Detected

Analysis of congecko.xyz shows the domain was registered on July 23 2026 through Porkbun LLC and is currently hosted on IP 207.207.210.50. The authoritative name servers listed are curitiba.ns.porkbun.com, fortaleza.ns.porkbun.com, maceio.ns.porkbun.com, and salvador.ns.porkbun.com, indicating the registrar’s default DNS configuration. The domain is classified as a generic phishing site and is listed as active.

It appears on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy, demonstrating that at least one external sinkhole has taken mitigation action. A VirusTotal scan involving 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines returned no detections, but the absence of alerts does not constitute a safety assurance. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title information are available, limiting visibility into the site’s content and transport security.

The lack of additional blocklist listings or threat‑intel feeds such as OTX suggests limited propagation at this stage, though the recent creation date implies a short operational window. Defenders should continue to monitor DNS queries for 207.207.210.50 and enforce URL filtering policies that block congecko.xyz. Incident response teams are advised to add the domain to internal blocklists, capture any network traffic to the IP for further forensic analysis, and re‑evaluate the domain as new intelligence becomes available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260725-698954
TLS cert SHA-256:      537e942dd187b0460888314f226b2e442ad37aaee9b248eb15bce8380d4c237f

## 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.
