## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:55:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pandaswap-core.vercel.app as a high-risk phishing domain impersonating a generic cryptocurrency brand. The site used deceptive tactics to trick users into believing they were interacting with a legitimate crypto platform. Such scams risk users' sensitive data, including credentials and digital assets, leading to potential financial loss.

This phishing operation worked by replicating familiar branding and user interface elements, including a misleading page title referencing PancakeSwap with fake pricing info. By hosting on the Vercel platform and resolving to a specific IP, it attempted to appear credible. The domain appeared on security blocklists and was flagged by multiple antivirus vendors before it was taken offline.

Users should avoid visiting suspicious crypto-related domains, especially those that mimic well-known brands. Verify URLs carefully and rely on official platform links. If personal information was entered on this site, it is crucial to change passwords immediately and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Reporting such domains helps protect the community from evolving social engineering threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       e11b366176c2f300801c5229aae56ebc008ccb5ccfd217c0aae0ebe4ae009f02
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338

## 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.
