## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 15:17:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, mydex.cc, is identified as a crypto credential theft site designed to harvest wallet login credentials and recovery phrases. Analysis indicates no direct brand impersonation, but the infrastructure mimics decentralized exchange (DEX) interfaces to deceive users into submitting sensitive cryptographic material. The attack vector aligns with known drainer kit patterns, though no specific kit family has been attributed to this instance.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on December 25, 2025, through Cloud DNS Ltd. It is flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a presence on three independent blocklists. The domain has not been listed on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) at the time of assessment. Technical indicators include its recent creation date, low reputation registrar, and absence of legitimate hosting history, all consistent with phishing infrastructure.  The domain is currently offline, having been taken down following detection and reporting. Response actions include its removal from DNS resolution and inclusion on multiple blocklists. Despite its offline status, residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with the site prior to takedown. Affected parties are advised to revoke wallet permissions, rotate credentials, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Continuous vigilance is recommended due to the transient nature of such threats.

## 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 (operator 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.
