## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-18 17:38:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies ops.crestline.finance as a medium-risk phishing domain linked to Crestline Trading. Such sites aim to steal sensitive information by mimicking legitimate financial platforms.

This phishing attempt tricks users into entering credentials or financial data by presenting a fake trading interface. The domain was created recently and appears on multiple blocklists, signaling suspicious activity.

If you visited ops.crestline.finance, immediately change any passwords used and monitor your accounts for unusual activity. Avoid reusing credentials on other sites and consider using multi-factor authentication for added protection.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       1ba2ae710d927f13d483fd5d1e548c9b
TLS cert SHA-256:      59b0d7f1f9d16a33d32236056caeaf039d0a1b8c5c818f90a715ed5bc7142f94

## 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.
