## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:23:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies phanbust.pro as a malicious domain designed to impersonate the Phantom brand, targeting users of the popular crypto wallet. The phishing page titled "Phantom l Christmas Distribution" aimed to lure victims into compromising their wallet credentials.

Technical analysis reveals the domain was created on December 22, 2025, and employed a Wallet Connect Abuse drainer kit to siphon cryptocurrency. The domain resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It triggered alerts from 16 out of 95 antivirus engines and appeared on three distinct security blocklists, confirming its malicious nature.

Currently, phanbust.pro has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risks to users. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring for similar impersonation attempts and urges users to verify URLs carefully before engaging in wallet transactions to avoid falling victim to crypto drainers.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       d940c7191dd3ca9b5535764b46c7d8b61e8cfd62885d42c56d6a9956a24ee219
TLS cert SHA-256:      aada5521fe185a0207aa77c34ed73a3c43d9116b040b8e0f24cbef426c18fbde

## 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.
