## ANALYST NARRATIVE

[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:22:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies mentalmask.xyz as a generic phishing domain impersonating the Mental Mask investment platform. It is classified with a low risk level due to limited malicious indicators.

The domain was registered on December 05, 2024, via OwnRegistrar, Inc. It resolved to IP 192.3.190.186 and was detected by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. It appears on one security blocklist and used the page title 'Mental Mask – Safe investment with Mental Mask' to lure victims.

Currently, mentalmask.xyz is taken offline, reducing immediate threats. The domain remains on one blocklist, and users are advised to avoid accessing it. PhishDestroy continues monitoring for any resurgence or related threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       4ccac4c9376dc3981579bcb6bbc1ba3b279444113de03fad7ee4a33a5e6f5908
TLS cert SHA-256:      47c4bec575841f8d509a7e53bd14598dae15fab22415b3fbe718e2dc6bd38e56

## 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.
