## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-05 12:47:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

herosdecos.digital is an actively malicious domain engaged in brand impersonation aimed at deceiving Microsoft users, currently presenting a fraudulent “website seized by Microsoft” page to harvest credentials and spread malware. Risk level is elevated due to the aggressive mimicry and multi-vendor detections, posing immediate danger to anyone encountering the lure.  

This domain was flagged by 21 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, registered through MarkMonitor Inc. on May 2, 2025, and resolves to IP 40.91.108.115. It already appears on one public blocklist—Maltrail—and carries an SSL certificate nominally issued to Microsoft Corporation, further boosting its credibility as a spoofed Microsoft asset.  

To mitigate exposure, users should avoid accessing the domain entirely and alert their security teams with the full URL and associated IP address. Enterprises are advised to add herosdecos.digital and 40.91.108.115 to DNS and firewall blocklists, inspect proxy logs for recent hits, and run endpoint scans for any dropped payloads. Immediate reporting to Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit and local CERT helps accelerate takedown and protect downstream users.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      05d13afcaf47dd5bb00a15ad66ef96f3a4c96f84934061da5cac4b10bb88d546

## 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.
