## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:25:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies permanent-badge-free.surge.sh as a high-risk generic phishing domain. The site was designed to deceive users and collect sensitive information under false pretenses, fitting common phishing tactics. The page title 'project not found' suggests it was likely taken down or never fully deployed.

Technical analysis shows the domain resolved to IP address 138.197.235.123 and was registered through Surge.sh, a platform known for hosting quick project deployments. Fourteen out of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, and it appears on at least one security blocklist, confirming its malicious nature within multiple threat intelligence sources.

Currently, the domain is offline and no longer serving content, indicating effective takedown efforts. Users and organizations should remain vigilant for any reuse or replication attempts of this phishing infrastructure. Monitoring related domains or IP addresses associated with Surge.sh is recommended to prevent further exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       671fa559070604826667e37f3879cfc6fb905142c08dc307fa93061806826faa
TLS cert SHA-256:      c5d4a66e9bd2ce73b2a5b89f092d6264f5e22fb115131a9d679c4c7f34bbce23

## 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.
