## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:11:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy is currently investigating de-gen.vercel.app, a domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting Chainlink users. The risk level remains under investigation as the domain continues to operate, posing potential social engineering threats to unsuspecting victims.

de-gen.vercel.app was registered on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc., and resolves to IP address 64.29.17.131. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal among 95 security vendors, the domain appears on three separate security blocklists and is flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering. The site’s page title, "DeGen," along with its impersonation of Chainlink, suggests attempts to deceive users into trusting fraudulent content. The Gridinsoft trust score is extremely low at 0/100, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious intent.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with de-gen.vercel.app and to verify any communication or links purportedly related to Chainlink through official channels. Current mitigation efforts include monitoring and listing on blocklists, but the domain remains active. Vigilance and caution are essential to prevent potential credential theft or scam exposure linked to this ongoing phishing campaign.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338

## 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.
