## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:02:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain nirmith-shettigar.github.io is identified as a phishing threat, flagged by 9 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. Despite its current offline status, it was initially detected by PhishDestroy on June 21, 2026. The domain is hosted by Fastly, Inc. in the US and registered through GitHub, Inc., with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.

The domain's platform risk score is notably high at 83 out of 100, indicating a significant threat level during its active period. Its abuse score stands at 38 out of 100. These metrics suggest that the domain was likely used in a targeted phishing campaign, exploiting GitHub's platform to lend credibility to the scam.

Although now taken down, the domain's presence on a public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, underscores its malicious intent. The use of Let's Encrypt for SSL certification is a common tactic among phishing operators to create a false sense of security. This case exemplifies the importance of early detection and swift action to mitigate the impact of phishing campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      ea69bc711cb9d45698d2fdaa4854d7dc086acd3a9c350164909b688ac7c0631f

## 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.
