## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 16:30:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dolphinchange.com as a domain associated with generic phishing threats, posing a low risk to users. The domain was flagged for potentially deceptive practices aimed at harvesting user credentials or sensitive information. Although the overall threat level is assessed as low, users should exercise caution when encountering this domain or similar suspicious websites.

Technical analysis reveals that dolphinchange.com was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through a now-defunct domain registrar, which may suggest limited legitimacy or attempts to obscure ownership. This domain appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by two security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating some recognition of its malicious intent within cybersecurity communities. The infrastructure behind dolphinchange.com lacked significant complexity, which is typical for generic phishing operations.

Currently, dolphinchange.com is offline and no longer accessible, reducing immediate risk to users. Despite this, users are advised to remain cautious, avoid providing personal or financial information to unknown domains, and ensure their security tools are up to date. Continuous monitoring and prompt reporting of suspicious domains remain critical to maintaining online safety.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9badd888d3b37bd3b7412147f8fae63b
TLS cert SHA-256:      75edc8ae037ab4e49f99a31fffa473a82aa5655f80ce69de37c184c570eb90df

## 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.
