## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:20:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies metamask.web3dex.cc as a high-risk phishing domain targeting MetaMask users. It posed a significant threat by mimicking MetaMask’s branding to deceive users into compromising their DeFi and NFT credentials.

The domain was registered on 2025-04-03 via Internet Domain Service BS Corp. It resolved to IP 194.36.170.109 and appeared on three major security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged it by 14 security vendors, confirming its malicious intent.

Currently, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to remain vigilant, avoid similar suspicious domains, and verify official URLs when accessing Web3 services to safeguard their digital assets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       d27990511c8b3bb6f5865e7229793f6a301390257aeae8772ab3c795b24fc1be

## 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.
