## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:09:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies kerneldao.claims as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain targeting cryptocurrency users. It uses deceptive page titles like "KMSpico" to lure victims into compromising their digital assets.

The domain is registered via Cloudflare, Inc. and resolves to IP 185.208.156.66. It appears on three security blocklists, with 6 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagging it for malicious activity. These indicators highlight its ongoing threat to crypto holders.

Currently active, kerneldao.claims requires monitoring and blocking within security solutions. Users should avoid interacting with this domain to prevent potential crypto asset theft and unauthorized access.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       40ce6055282204535deeec6117691202
TLS cert SHA-256:      c37fd9576fbb00355caa95910e4a1bbea9c8ef94339102672364fb3536fd2a23

## 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.
