## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-11 08:10:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies the active phishing domain proposalforge.in, currently impersonating a generic proposals service to deceive users seeking professional document templates.

This domain was flagged by 1 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, raising concerns about its recent deployment and low detection coverage. Registered through GoDaddy, proposalforge.in resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1 and was created on May 08, 2026, indicating a recently established infrastructure. The domain utilizes a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, enhancing its appearance of legitimacy. As of the latest assessment, no known blocklists have flagged this domain, and current trust scores remain unvalidated.

Currently under investigation, proposalforge.in poses an evolving threat due to its low detection rate and active status. Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain and report any suspicious communications linked to it. Organizations should monitor network traffic for connections to 216.198.79.1 and update blocklists to include this domain once confirmed malicious. Immediate action includes verifying the authenticity of any proposals service websites and ensuring employees are informed of this emerging threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc
TLS cert SHA-256:      e057519ba8ab572dd28ed5edb598aacae936849089b33aa3ab9869969f16e3b9

## 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.
