## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:32:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified fidato-paycore.com as a medium-risk phishing domain impersonating Fidato Paycore, a payment service. Such attacks can lead to credential theft and financial loss.

The domain was registered recently on July 30, 2025, through NETIM SAS and resolved to IP 45.9.148.131. It appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by 6 out of 95 VirusTotal scanners before being taken offline.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain, refrain from submitting sensitive data, and ensure their devices have up-to-date security protections to prevent compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       69e0579c296b1c156822d90ef908542c650f9cdf33763d224065d044f991a0d2
TLS cert SHA-256:      c75cd9da240c95f96bd2c4a8b630f24046f331556df2294c8c817bf1b4b89ee6

## 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.
