## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:32:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies elysiumcu.online as a medium-level phishing threat targeting users with a fake banking interface branded as "Elysium CU - Your New Favorite Bank." The site was created recently and intended to deceive victims into divulging sensitive financial information.

Supporting this classification, the domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and has been registered through Cosmotown Inc. It appears on one security blocklist, and 6 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged it for suspicious activity. These indicators suggest attempts to lure users into credential theft or financial fraud.

Currently, elysiumcu.online is offline, which reduces immediate risk. Users should remain vigilant, avoid interacting with similar suspicious domains, and ensure their security solutions are up to date. Continuous monitoring by PhishDestroy will track any resurgence or related threats linked to this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       8d3da9693cc837d102db96a7622f6a99
TLS cert SHA-256:      9c96a147c2f274128980f403eb7fb77d9fb86bc6121313924a0b9daa3dcc6344

## 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.
