## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 22:59:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pro.egdlex.exchange, now offline, was a fake exchange scam posing as a decentralized trading platform. It was flagged as malicious by 4 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. The site was designed to deceive users into thinking they were accessing a legitimate decentralized exchange, leveraging a high-performance, orderbook-based trading experience.

PhishDestroy first detected this domain on June 22, 2026, highlighting its operation during a critical window before widespread detection by antivirus databases. The domain was hosted on an IP address managed by Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States, with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Despite its takedown, the domain's presence on a public blocklist indicates its potential impact during its active period.

The platform risk score of 71 out of 100 underscores the threat level posed by this fake exchange. By imitating a legitimate trading platform, the domain aimed to exploit users seeking decentralized trading solutions. The absence of a registrar suggests an effort to obfuscate ownership details, a common tactic in scam operations. The swift takedown of pro.egdlex.exchange mitigates immediate risk, but its initial activity serves as a reminder of the evolving tactics used in phishing campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      9a7911beb49b8294d740f5c54668947ddf9c187da2d265fa038b5791367206e5

## 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.
