## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:24:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy classifies poloniexcrypto.cc as a low-risk generic phishing threat. While the domain’s potential for harm is limited, it was designed to deceive users, likely aiming to harvest sensitive information under the guise of a legitimate cryptocurrency platform.

The domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. with a creation date of February 21, 2026, and resolved to IP 104.21.28.151. It appeared on two security blocklists, and VirusTotal flagged it with 2 out of 95 security vendors identifying suspicious activity. The Gridinsoft trust score rated it at 0/100, further indicating a lack of trustworthiness. The website displayed a message stating, "Sorry, the website has been stopped," suggesting it is no longer active.

Due to its offline status, immediate risk to users is mitigated. Users should remain vigilant and avoid visiting or interacting with poloniexcrypto.cc or similar suspicious domains. Continuous monitoring and blocking of such domains help prevent potential phishing attacks. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining updated security solutions and reporting any suspicious cryptocurrency-related domains to reduce exposure to phishing threats.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      ddde2fb7de23a027f4047f99a0192097264c77012bd6f6da29ffd3707c2d45f2

## 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.
