## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-22 21:25:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies gcexx.com as a high-risk domain engaging in generic phishing targeting cryptocurrency users. This fraudulent site masquerades under the guise of a legitimate exchange, aiming to steal login credentials or financial data from unsuspecting victims. The page loads a title labeled 'GCEX,' suggesting a direct impersonation of the GCEX cryptocurrency exchange platform.  This domain was flagged by 16 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating widespread suspicion of its malicious intent. Registered on March 20, 2026, through Dominet (HK) Limited, the domain resolves to the IP address 27.124.43.40 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate—a tactic often leveraged to appear legitimate and evade detection.  If you’ve visited gcexx.com, avoid entering any credentials or personal information. Disconnect from the site immediately and scan your device for malware. Report the domain to your IT security team or the platform it impersonates. Changing passwords for affected accounts, especially crypto-related ones, is strongly recommended to mitigate potential unauthorized access.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-26282B
Favicon MD5:       1543950536b5b9ef9c44c8a6dfde222b
TLS cert SHA-256:      a2a93c3763d35f7bcec606871080c1bf5809942f193acdd9d7e64c2f290fa072

## 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.
