## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-24 18:21:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fire-light.xyz as an active brand-impersonation site posing as HTX, a major global cryptocurrency exchange. This domain is under live investigation and currently resolving to IP 172.67.180.174. The site appears designed to harvest credentials and seed wallet addresses for cryptocurrency theft, making it a high-risk crypto drainer.  This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy on April 22, 2026. Registration was processed through Dynadot LLC, and the site is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Despite 0 detections on VirusTotal as of today (0/95 engines), the domain mimics HTX branding and infrastructure to deceive users into entering sensitive login or wallet information. The age of the domain—just days old—and its rapid deployment of SSL suggest a deliberate, short-lived campaign aimed at unsuspecting cryptocurrency holders.  If you visited fire-light.xyz or entered any information, stop using the supplied credentials and immediately transfer any stored crypto to a new, secure wallet. Disconnect affected devices from your network, run a full antivirus scan, and monitor your financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Always verify exchange links by typing the official URL (htx.com) directly into your browser or using PhishDestroy’s real-time verification tool. Never click on links from unsolicited messages claiming to be from HTX.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       774908dd96042307639e40a6950e03a0
TLS cert SHA-256:      61e04f65bdbc95a4a9a61882bedc278df6740923651e0a46ad79786383d1c7b6

## 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.
