## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-15 08:35:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified ellipalsetup.live as an active cryptocurrency phishing domain. This site poses a significant threat to users of cryptocurrency hardware wallets, potentially leading to the theft of private keys and digital assets.  

Technical analysis reveals that ellipalsetup.live resolves to IP address 216.150.1.1. The domain uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on March 23, 2026. VirusTotal reports that 1 out of 95 security vendors currently flag this domain as malicious.  

Given the active status and the indicators of phishing activity, it is strongly recommended that users avoid interacting with ellipalsetup.live. Cryptocurrency users should verify the legitimacy of any website before entering sensitive information such as private keys or seed phrases. Exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain to prevent potential financial loss. Users who have interacted with this domain should immediately move their cryptocurrency assets to a secure wallet.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       35af30d786ff98b9f19581852a58bec7
TLS cert SHA-256:      f68928eb0806a038521c05e53df366e3c6f0ccf67f6b1021afd037a85874ad49

## 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.
