## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:34:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies meta-refund.surge.sh as a high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. This domain has been flagged on a security blocklist and detected by multiple security vendors, indicating a genuine threat.

The phishing scheme likely involved impersonating well-known services to trick visitors into submitting personal data, exploiting the trust users place in familiar brand names. The site’s current offline status helps prevent further harm, but caution is still advised.

Anyone who visited meta-refund.surge.sh should refrain from entering personal or financial details and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. Running a malware scan and updating passwords is recommended if credentials were shared.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      c5d4a66e9bd2ce73b2a5b89f092d6264f5e22fb115131a9d679c4c7f34bbce23

## 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.
