## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-22 09:27:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies onstudies.co.ke as an active credential theft domain leveraging generic phishing tactics to harvest user login details. The domain is currently engaged in fraudulent activities and poses a significant risk to unsuspecting victims.

This domain was flagged by 5 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, with additional blocks enforced by OpenPhish and PhishingArmy. Registered through HostPinnacle Cloud Limited, the domain resolves to IP 84.16.229.230 and was created on September 10, 2021. It appears on 2 security blocklists and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance its deceptive appearance. Trust scores and reputation metrics further indicate malicious intent.

Given its elevated risk level and active status, immediate action is required. Security teams should block onstudies.co.ke at the network perimeter and investigate endpoints for signs of compromise. Users should avoid interacting with this domain and report any suspicious activity to their security operations center. Continuous monitoring of associated IPs and domains is recommended to prevent lateral movement of this credential theft campaign.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9cfcf8ee3fc89b99782c3b900d603256
TLS cert SHA-256:      113f0761f34d9cccc6359f15e008f77516a875f1fcc50bcdedbb941dd156972d

## 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.
