## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-12 18:42:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies epicrate.info as an active crypto drainer that targets cryptocurrency wallets by tricking users into connecting their wallet or entering private keys, then silently transferring assets to attacker-controlled wallets without permission.

This domain was flagged by VirusTotal after only 5 days in operation, with 5 out of 95 security vendors already detecting malicious activity. The site was registered on March 25, 2026 through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.199.150. It holds a legitimate-looking Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which adds a veneer of trustworthiness while masking malicious intent.

If you visited epicrate.info, immediately disconnect your wallet from the site and revoke any connected permissions in your wallet settings. Do not enter any private keys or seed phrases anywhere on the page. Use a reputable blocklist tool like PhishDestroy to verify future links and report this rogue domain to help protect other users.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260512-D203CC
TLS cert SHA-256:      033b89dd36e31ffeb403a70a89405a26ea08b0486b707a68353364706a898d05

## 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.
