## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:24:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies lineae.me as a high-risk crypto drainer domain leveraging a fraudulent Linea airdrop page to deceive users into compromising their cryptocurrency assets. This domain is designed to harvest credentials and drain crypto wallets through the Angel Drainer malware kit, presenting a direct threat to victims attempting to claim fake airdrops.

The domain was registered recently via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolved to IP address 104.21.16.1. It has been flagged on seven security blocklists and is detected by multiple antivirus engines, including Google Safe Browsing, which categorizes it under social engineering threats. The attacker’s use of the Angel Drainer kit indicates a sophisticated approach to crypto theft, exploiting the trust users place in the legitimate Linea brand.

Currently, lineae.me is taken offline, mitigating immediate risk. However, users and organizations should remain vigilant against similar imposter domains. It is recommended to avoid interacting with suspicious airdrop offers and to monitor for updates on domain statuses through trusted security channels such as PhishDestroy. Continuous awareness and cautious verification of crypto-related promotions are crucial to prevent credential compromise and asset loss.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       c8d8e7691a5661911da84593d87525ce8178905f1f7bb05da4ce6a8974768caf

## 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.
