## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-09 22:15:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

cyde.xyz poses a high-risk generic phishing threat to users. Analysis indicates that this domain is designed to trick individuals into providing sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, or financial details, by mimicking legitimate websites. It is crucial to recognize that interacting with this domain may lead to identity theft or financial loss due to its fraudulent nature.

The domain was created on December 30, 2021, and is currently registered through Spaceship, Inc. Threat intelligence indicates that the domain has been flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a notable level of risk. Furthermore, it is listed in 2 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, reinforcing its association with malicious activities. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.40.205, further linking it to a potentially harmful infrastructure.

If an individual has visited cyde.xyz, it is recommended to immediately change any passwords that may have been entered on the site. Additionally, monitoring bank and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions is prudent. Users should consider running a full security scan using reputable antivirus software and resetting passwords on any accounts that may have been compromised. It is also advisable to enable two-factor authentication where possible to add an additional layer of security against unauthorized access.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       4fabeabee229184b44fc77b36692a78c
TLS cert SHA-256:      89f159ab3a4f16b324cc0165e9340e88ac4a66ebcd5d4d91f9fea17d1e18a2bd

## 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.
