## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-23 05:33:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies media-dmca.cfd as an active credential theft phishing domain leveraging brand impersonation tactics, specifically targeting users under the guise of DMCA compliance claims.

This domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, registered on April 20, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. Security telemetry confirms a VirusTotal detection score of 4/95 security vendors, Google Safe Browsing categorization under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, and inclusion on 1 active security blocklist. The domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to establish false legitimacy.

Currently rated as elevated risk, media-dmca.cfd remains active despite proactive blocking by InversionDNS. Immediate remediation is advised: block the domain at DNS and network levels, scan endpoints for associated IOCs (IP 188.114.97.3), and update browser and email security policies. Remaining exposure persists due to recent domain registration and low but active detections, necessitating continuous monitoring.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260423-4EB70E
Favicon MD5:       ee4dd7fb01baf2914c6c628a090a85e0
TLS cert SHA-256:      dff7e7429de7d7660a9ce4e7806748a800b8f6e1d23583fbe010656a21a59c18

## 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.
