## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-19 20:31:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

montrixfinance.com has been confirmed as an active credential harvesting scam site, posing an elevated risk to potential victims. This domain is specifically engineered to mimic legitimate financial services to deceive users into surrendering sensitive login credentials.    PhishDestroy identifies this domain as a high-risk credential harvesting platform, with 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal already flagging it as malicious. The domain was registered on March 26, 2025, through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc, a registrar known for accommodating high-risk registrations. It resolves to IP address 163.61.188.9 and operates with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, likely to enhance its appearance of legitimacy. Despite its recent creation, this domain has already been detected by multiple threat intelligence feeds, underscoring its rapid operationalization in active campaigns.    Mitigation for this credential harvesting threat requires immediate action. Organizations should block access to montrixfinance.com at the network perimeter using DNS sinkholing or firewall rules. Users who may have interacted with this domain should reset passwords for any accounts potentially exposed and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Security teams should also scan for any internal systems that may have communicated with this IP (163.61.188.9) and investigate for signs of credential compromise. Given the domain's recent registration and rapid deployment, heightened monitoring for similar domains mimicking financial institutions is strongly advised.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260519-1F99F7
Favicon MD5:       5f2e239dcbd23c9dc6073d36adf7b5d2
TLS cert SHA-256:      644c3a88ce145488ea889b6d529f3b3bb03e754ef152b0b555ef6f536ab2feae

## 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.
