## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:50:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies examgate.online as a low-risk generic phishing domain associated with a Computer Based Test (CBT) platform. The domain was flagged primarily for potential phishing activity, though its overall threat level remains low due to limited detection and scope.

Supporting evidence includes its registration date on July 09, 2025, and its presence on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis shows only one out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, indicating minimal current detection in the cybersecurity community. The domain resolved to IP address 163.61.188.222 and was registered through Global Domain Group LLC. The page title indicated usage related to CBT examination, which could be potentially used to deceive users seeking legitimate examination portals.

Currently, examgate.online has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk for users. PhishDestroy recommends users remain cautious and avoid engaging with the domain if encountered, especially given its phishing classification. Monitoring updates and domain status changes is advised to stay protected against potential future threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       d8824f7067cdfea38afec7e9ffaf072125266824206d69ef1f112d72153a505e
TLS cert SHA-256:      f81700dc38fcd483ed727d7881a2cf338d25a2d9278272b2a65f982460829d26

## 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.
