## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-15 15:29:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies en-us-avalanche-explore.pages.dev as a brand impersonation site targeting Avalanche users. This domain uses Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure (IP 188.114.97.3) and a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate, likely deploying spoofed pages or fake updates to harvest credentials or inject malware. The threat actor leverages the genuine *.pages.dev domain structure to exploit trust in popular development platforms.  This domain was flagged with 0/95 detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan, indicating it has not yet been widely blacklisted despite active impersonation behavior. It is registered under Cloudflare, Inc., with no publicly visible creation date in WHOIS records. The combination of clean detection rates and trusted infrastructure suggests a recently deployed campaign with potential to evade automated filters and deceive security tools.  Users who visited this site may have been exposed to credential theft prompts, malicious downloads, or browser-based exploits disguised as Avalanche software updates or documentation. If interaction occurred, disconnect from the network, run a full antivirus scan, and change Avalanche-related passwords from a known-safe device. Report any suspicious transactions or account access to Avalanche support immediately using official contact channels.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      3972a823cecb11efdbc79ca6616b203d0f50da32d12fb043eb8546b0283c97ab

## 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.
