## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 16:14:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies grokiuscoin.digital as a medium-risk phishing domain targeting unsuspecting users. Classified under generic phishing threats, this domain posed a potential risk by attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or credentials.

The domain was registered recently on February 26, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolved to IP address 104.21.5.68. Despite being flagged by only a few security vendors, it appeared on four security blocklists, indicating corroborated suspicion from multiple threat intelligence sources. The domain is currently offline, which mitigates immediate risk, but its infrastructure and registration details suggest it was part of a broader phishing campaign aimed at exploiting digital currency interests.

Users and organizations are advised to remain vigilant against similar domains and maintain robust email and web filtering controls. Avoid clicking suspicious links or providing personal data on unverified sites. PhishDestroy recommends monitoring blocklists and threat feeds for related domains, as cybercriminals often register multiple variants. The current offline status of grokiuscoin.digital reduces active threat exposure but does not eliminate risk of reactivation or new related domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       59a8673ab13987708a9d89864817b931
TLS cert SHA-256:      6a69ddce0bb3662dc0dd649f5b87dc0ec4dabdc0c8f18866bbea1b4b44ee7e7f

## 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.
