## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-12 18:47:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fortkey.shop as an active credential harvesting domain posing an elevated phishing threat.

This domain was flagged by 10 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, resolving to IP 188.114.96.3 with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain exhibits high-risk characteristics, including a low trust score and minimal operational history, which aligns with typical phishing infrastructure patterns.

Analysis reveals fortkey.shop is currently active and engaging in malicious activities. Technical indicators include the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has been associated with multiple phishing campaigns. The domain's SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt suggests attackers are leveraging free certificates to appear legitimate. With only 10 of 95 vendors detecting this threat, organizations should implement immediate blocklisting measures. Users are advised to avoid accessing this domain and report any suspicious interactions to their security teams. Enhanced monitoring of network traffic involving this IP is strongly recommended to prevent credential theft and potential lateral movement within compromised environments.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 16/92 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      8ec8b5d516f91483e2b7cac1481d9c30f679181e01a80c1f41277d2fca6044d1

## 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.
