## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:52:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies metadao.foundation as a domain involved in crypto asset draining activities. This domain was first registered on November 14, 2025, and has since been detected on multiple security blocklists, signaling its association with malicious operations targeting cryptocurrency holders.

Technical investigations reveal that metadao.foundation resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is tied to the Angel Drainer malware kit, a known tool for illicitly siphoning cryptocurrency funds. The page title appears as an obfuscated string, '?etaD??', which may indicate attempts to mask its true intent. Additionally, the domain was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a common registrar seen in similar threat campaigns. Despite only a small number of security vendors flagging this domain, its presence on several blocklists underscores its potential risk.

Currently, metadao.foundation is offline, which suggests that mitigation efforts may have successfully disrupted its operations. Users are advised to exercise caution with suspicious crypto-related websites and keep their wallets and credentials secure. Continuous monitoring and timely response are essential to prevent exposure to such crypto drainer threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       c1f70852008e0fd5d39bd649db5307f96b13d8eede93d18553e0e64e8946b129
TLS cert SHA-256:      462ee271e1369579bcdf554098382fd3271f9f3666270cb99525adc79cbbd593

## 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.
