## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-17 15:00:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis of the domain g98f.xyz indicates active involvement in a generic phishing operation. The domain was registered on 18 April 2026 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and is currently serviced by four nameservers (ns1-4.1111343.com). DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.163, which hosts a Let's Encrypt YR2 certificate, confirming the presence of TLS encryption. VirusTotal scans show nine of ninety‑one security vendors flagging the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious use. The domain remains live as of the reporting date, and no additional public intelligence (such as target brand or phishing kit) has been disclosed. Uncertainty remains regarding the specific payload or credential collection mechanisms employed, as no page content has been examined. Defenders should block outbound connections to 103.27.177.163, add g98f.xyz to URL filtering policies, and monitor DNS queries for the associated nameservers. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and similar platforms is advised to capture any changes in detection status. Organizations should also educate users about unsolicited emails that may reference short‑lived domains like g98f.xyz, emphasizing verification of sender authenticity before entering credentials.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260717-F339DC
TLS cert SHA-256:      033e501b5e0281c12923913aae735204ecefb01d1abd2e8130af946c5dc00ae8

## 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 (operator 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.
