  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE
AlienVault OTX:  4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

HTTP response:   200

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1
Expires:    2026-09-04
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: da9d1bb390960f7891beae7d200dda77b2ca2bbab52699bef5b2dbfee0a92c52

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-06 14:18:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:23:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis of orbitprotocol.dev indicates an active brand impersonation campaign targeting Drift, a known decentralized protocol. The domain, registered on June 6, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and is protected by Cloudflare infrastructure, including HTTP/3 support. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, a common tactic to lend legitimacy to phishing sites. The domain is currently flagged by three security blocklists and has been identified in four AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, suggesting broader malicious activity recognition.  The page title, 'ORBIT Protocol — Identity Infrastructure for AI Agents,' does not directly reference Drift but may be crafted to mislead users familiar with Drift’s branding or ecosystem. The domain has been blocked by SEAL, MetaMask, and PhishDestroy, further corroborating its malicious intent. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, reflecting high-risk classification. While the exact content of the site remains unanalyzed, the combination of brand impersonation, recent registration, and infrastructure choices aligns with phishing or credential harvesting objectives.  Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking it at the network and endpoint levels. Monitoring for related domains registered through Cloudflare with similar naming conventions or infrastructure patterns may help identify additional threats. Given the domain’s active status and inclusion in multiple threat feeds, immediate action is recommended to mitigate potential user exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       6a43c519045e05e9e489f7cf6c1049b9
TLS cert SHA-256:      da9d1bb390960f7891beae7d200dda77b2ca2bbab52699bef5b2dbfee0a92c52

## 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.
