## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:21:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies defi-789.com as a high-risk crypto drainer domain targeting digital asset holders. The domain uses the page title 'defi-ETH' to lure users into compromising their crypto wallets.

Technical indicators include a recent registration on February 21, 2026, through Domainsofcourse.com LLC, and resolution to IP 188.114.97.3. The domain is flagged on 2 security blocklists and detected by 14 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. AlienVault OTX has also noted it in a threat intelligence pulse.

Currently active, defi-789.com continues posing threats to users. Immediate blocking and awareness are recommended to prevent crypto asset losses. PhishDestroy will monitor ongoing developments tied to the unique seed 4ddf22.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       62c4dc8f3056b94f847af380b379cd66
TLS cert SHA-256:      4f9d8328f57e565a91e484274ded992829fd25f677a50b51bdeb38d86abc1328

## 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.
