## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:24:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified mysten-hackathon.vercel.app as a high-risk malicious domain engaged in brand impersonation attacks targeting the Sui blockchain ecosystem. The domain uses deceptive branding with a page titled "Sui dApp Starter" to lure victims, aiming to exploit trust and gain unauthorized access or sensitive information. This activity represents a significant threat to users familiar with the Sui brand.

The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc. and resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.195. It is currently active and has been flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering risks. Additionally, 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have marked the site as malicious, while the domain appears on two security blocklists. Its Gridinsoft trust score is notably low at 0/100, reinforcing its suspicious nature.

Given the ongoing active status of mysten-hackathon.vercel.app, PhishDestroy strongly recommends users avoid visiting this domain and exercise caution when interacting with any links or content purportedly related to Sui. Network defenders should consider blocking this domain and monitoring for related phishing attempts. Continuous vigilance is essential to mitigate risks from this persistent threat.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 14/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338

## 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.
