## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-17 18:01:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain okxcoin.co was registered on 2026-06-03 via Dynadot Inc and is currently resolved to IP 38.181.42.41. DNS resolution is provided by the authoritative name servers ns1.dyna-ns.net and ns2.dyna-ns.net. The site presents a Let’s Encrypt YR1 TLS certificate, which validates the domain name but does not verify the claimed brand. Threat intelligence classifies the domain as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation of OKX. VirusTotal analysis shows that 10 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating a consensus of malicious intent. The domain remains active as of the report date. No additional artifacts such as observed phishing pages, malware payloads, or command‑and‑control infrastructure have been disclosed. The observable indicators are therefore limited to registration details, DNS configuration, IP address, TLS certificate, and the VirusTotal detection count. Defenders should block outbound connections to 38.181.42.41, add okxcoin.co to URL filtering and sinkhole lists, and monitor DNS queries for the domain and its authoritative name servers. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended in case the threat actor changes hosting, certificate, or other infrastructure components.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260717-C3B66C
TLS cert SHA-256:      876fa98355765e8abfed1f6e355b9a01d3bd7a79371a561f513c1183daa66320

## 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.
