## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-19 02:34:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies guide-kukoin-io.pages.dev as a live crypto credential theft site masquerading as KuCoin’s official security guidance. The domain serves a fraudulent page titled 'KuCoin — Phishing-Resistant Sign-In Habits & Verification,' luring users into entering sensitive login credentials under the guise of providing security advice. This is a direct attempt to harvest cryptocurrency exchange credentials for financial fraud.  

This domain was flagged with 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans as of the latest check, indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus engines. It operates under Cloudflare, Inc. with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, leveraging trusted infrastructure to appear legitimate. The page’s title and branding closely mimic KuCoin’s official communications, exploiting user trust in the exchange’s security recommendations. No creation date is publicly available, but the site’s active status confirms it is currently operational and distributing malicious content.  

If you visited guide-kukoin-io.pages.dev, immediately revoke any credentials entered on the site and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your KuCoin account. Run a full antivirus scan on your device to check for malware or credential-stealing trojans. Report the domain to KuCoin’s fraud team and avoid interacting with any links or downloads from this page. Monitor your cryptocurrency wallets and exchange accounts for unauthorized transactions.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      f7385737c207a7bcb38b7831f9719eed8278a9b83c4a301401e1c541d0194a1e

## 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.
