## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-01 15:49:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies kaching.space as an active crypto drainer domain currently under investigation. The domain has been flagged for its malicious intent, specifically designed to siphon cryptocurrency funds from unsuspecting users. This domain is currently active and poses a significant risk to visitors interacting with it.    

This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized as malicious by security engines. kaching.space was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on August 27, 2025, and resolves to the IP address 198.54.120.246. The domain operates under an SSL certificate issued by Sectigo Limited, adding a false layer of legitimacy. Additionally, it remains unlisted on major blocklists, with trust scores reflecting its recent creation and low detection rates.    

Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting kaching.space until further investigations are completed. To ensure safety, verify any suspicious URLs using PhishDestroy’s real-time threat intelligence tools. If you have interacted with this domain or suspect fraudulent activity, report it immediately to your cryptocurrency exchange or wallet provider. Exercise caution with unsolicited links, especially those promising financial rewards or urgent actions.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260501-D551F7
TLS cert SHA-256:      db39b489cb48e5e3ec0ab12e24e1e40173d76d161379200a965f02c1e142e3dc

## 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.
