## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-24 18:27:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain privypets.app is a live site with a high threat score of 85/100, identified as a generic phishing operation. It has been flagged as malicious by 1 out of 95 security vendors, with Fortinet being the only vendor to detect it. The domain is listed on 3 public blocklists, yet it remains unflagged by Google Safe Browsing.

Registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, privypets.app was created on June 20, 2026, and first seen on June 24, 2026. The hosting IP is 216.198.79.1. The lack of brand impersonation suggests a broad targeting strategy, typical of generic scams.

To mitigate risk, block this domain at the perimeter and report it to the registrar's abuse desk.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260624-9A8159
Favicon MD5:       acab0f1fc7b0490995e2ca3fc302cc8c
TLS cert SHA-256:      d41c49c1d09b2e4ee9702dd3306ad7abb6117fa35bef95bf8fb818f22cc73482

## 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.
