## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-19 22:44:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dmca-chrome.com as an active phishing domain masquerading as a legitimate Google Chrome support portal to trick users into surrendering credentials. The domain is currently under investigation, with a threat type classified as generic_phishing.  dmca-chrome.com was flagged by Google Safe Browsing’s SOCIAL_ENGINEERING category and currently shows 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of seed c45189. The domain resolves to IP 104.21.16.24, was registered on May 17, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. Despite low detection rates, the domain is already listed on one blocklist.  As of this report, the campaign remains active and poses a moderate-to-high risk due to the deceptive branding and low initial detection rates. Users are advised to avoid accessing this domain entirely, report it via their browser’s safe browsing tools, and monitor for unauthorized access to Google accounts or Chrome browser data. Organizations should consider blocking the domain and IP at the network perimeter to prevent potential credential harvesting or malware delivery through this vector.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f3418a443e7d841097c714d69ec4bcb8
TLS cert SHA-256:      e7789103a574576d89a818a44c7482a70702d141903362d3b9eb4044ef50a501

## 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.
