publictrustwallet.com: Confirmed Brand Impersonation

Analysis indicates that publictrustwallet.com is an active brand‑impersonation site targeting Trust Wallet users. The domain is registered via GoDaddy.com, LLC and uses the authoritative name servers ns71.domaincontrol.com and ns72.domaincontrol.com. DNS resolution points to 172.235.150.69, an IP owned by Akamai Technologies, Inc. in the United States. The web server returns HTTP 200 and presents a Let’s Encrypt / YE1 TLS certificate, which does not provide any indication of malicious intent but confirms the domain is publicly reachable over HTTPS. VirusTotal reports five of ninety‑one security vendors flagging the domain, and the site is listed on three external blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The intelligence confirms the campaign’s objective is to impersonate Trust Wallet, but no additional payload or credential‑harvesting details have been disclosed. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact phishing page content, the presence of any malicious scripts, and whether the infrastructure is shared with other campaigns. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeter, update URL filtering policies, and monitor DNS queries for the associated IP and name‑server records. Incident response teams should treat any credentials submitted to the site as compromised and advise affected users to reset Trust Wallet credentials immediately.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      08154042476c9825476bc7dbcaea0eb2a81b58a4ba8cfd5b18000197aa2bd252

## 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 (operator 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.
