## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 16:41:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies poloniexdefi.cc as an active crypto drainer domain targeting cryptocurrency users. This threat aims to steal digital assets, posing risks to investors and wallet holders.

The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and appears on three security blocklists. While only a few security vendors have flagged it, its continued activity suggests ongoing malicious operations.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with poloniexdefi.cc, ensure their wallets have strong security, and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. Staying informed helps prevent potential losses from this threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      a2a5ea680d6370d655946a391c64fa92096f79b82894f49efec938b716b688e4

## 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.
