## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-13 21:22:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dydx-airdrop.github.io as a live cryptocurrency scam impersonating the legitimate dYdX exchange. The site promises fraudulent token airdrops to trick victims into connecting wallets and surrendering private keys or seed phrases. 0 out of 95 VirusTotal scanners currently detect the page, leaving most antivirus tools blind to the threat. The domain was registered through GitHub Pages on an IP address (185.199.108.153) hosting multiple look-alike airdrop campaigns.  This threat is a classic brand-impersonation phishing scheme. Attackers use the dYdX name, logo, and styling to appear legitimate, then request wallet connections under the guise of distributing free tokens. The site leverages a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to add a false sense of security, even though the domain’s age, zero detection rate, and GitHub hosting profile are strong red flags. The risk is elevated because the page impersonates a major DeFi protocol and can harvest private keys in seconds once wallets are connected.  If you visited dydx-airdrop.github.io, disconnect your wallet immediately and revoke any permissions it may have granted. Use a hardware wallet or clean browser profile for future DeFi interactions. Report the domain to your antivirus vendor, GitHub abuse, and the real dYdX team. Always verify airdrop links via the official dYdX website or social channels before taking any action.

## 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.
