## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:17:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies gaib.network as a domain involved in brand impersonation targeting users interested in staking digital assets. The site mimicked a fake staking service, potentially misleading users into depositing funds with false promises of rewards. Although flagged by few security vendors and currently offline, the domain appeared on multiple blocklists, indicating previous suspicious activity.

The phishing tactic here involved impersonating a staking platform that claimed to let users deposit AID and USDC tokens to earn rewards. By presenting a seemingly legitimate deposit interface, gaib.network aimed to trick users into transferring their assets, leading to potential financial loss. The domain registered through Cloudflare and resolved to an IPv6 address, but its trust score was extremely low, reflecting its untrustworthy nature.

Users who visited gaib.network should refrain from providing any personal or financial information and monitor their cryptocurrency accounts for unauthorized transactions. It is recommended to use official channels and verified platforms for staking activities. If funds were sent, contacting wallet providers and reporting the incident to relevant authorities can help mitigate damage. Staying vigilant against such impersonation attempts is crucial in protecting digital assets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      26dbbb24dc8cd25b7cc57348e4e528fc9cac445ac618a65cb86c9e2f750f1bb1

## 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.
