## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:32:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies filecoin.events as a high-risk phishing domain designed to impersonate Gmail services, misleading users by employing the Google page title. Classified under brand impersonation, this domain attempts to exploit user trust in Google’s email platform to harvest sensitive credentials and personal information.

The domain resolved to IP 142.250.185.68 with registration through Cloudflare, Inc. Despite being offline currently, it was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering. It appears on two prominent security blocklists and was reported in an AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. The domain’s trust scores from multiple sources, including Gridinsoft and Scamadviser, are critically low, reinforcing its malicious nature. Additionally, VirusTotal flagged it via 13 security vendors, further confirming its threat level.

Currently taken offline, filecoin.events no longer poses an immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends caution when encountering similar suspicious domains, especially those mimicking trusted brands such as Gmail. Users should remain vigilant and use reputable security tools to avoid phishing attacks. Reporting such domains helps improve overall internet safety and prevents credential theft.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       e8972ce34a4545b33c3926a20c306b71
TLS cert SHA-256:      38a55a40ce0281183eb39e4243102c234915c9cf9a10cd0e7d6ce1b5e18e47c7

## 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.
