## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:58:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies potionalpha.com as a low-risk brand impersonation targeting the TON brand. Such domains may mislead users into trusting fake sites that appear legitimate.

This phishing tactic uses a look-alike domain to mimic TON, aiming to capture sensitive information or cause confusion. Although only one security vendor flags this domain, caution is advised as it remains active and listed on a security blocklist.

If you have visited potionalpha.com, avoid entering personal details and run a full security scan on your device. Change passwords linked to TON services as a precaution and monitor accounts for unusual activity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7299a147c39a6c518a93bb5ea1eb07d5
TLS cert SHA-256:      d8461cbf70d4fb1ee8982e87a956565ec830296cd7647e2ac597cdae6203280c

## 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.
