## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:34:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a significant threat as it impersonates EtherFi, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or installing malicious software, thereby acting as a crypto drainer. 
   
The evidence against etherfiwc26.app is substantial, with 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, and it has been registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with a creation date of June 16, 2026, and is currently listed on 3 security blocklists. 

If a user has visited this domain, they should immediately verify the authenticity of the site on PhishDestroy and take necessary precautions to secure their accounts, such as changing passwords and monitoring their financial transactions, as the domain's SSL certificate from Google Trust Services and its resolve to IP 188.114.96.3 do not guarantee its legitimacy, given its flagged status and impersonation of EtherFi.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-463D8F
TLS cert SHA-256:      a576456ee9515efa49ade8c7ec3aa0657496c9ee3072c0a7279a263c0693e344

## 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.
