## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:16:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis of the domain purplebtc.fun indicates active impersonation of Bitcoin, classified as a high-risk crypto drainer operation. Registered on July 2, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, the domain resolves to IP 172.67.223.71, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the US. The page title, 'Purple Bitcoin ($PBTC) | Bitcoin Reimagined in Purple,' explicitly targets Bitcoin branding, while security vendors and blocklists—including PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer—flag the domain as malicious. Four of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal detect the domain, and it appears on two blocklists, corroborating its fraudulent classification. The site employs Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3, with a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Infrastructure analysis reveals Cloudflare nameservers (ishaan.ns.cloudflare.com, natasha.ns.cloudflare.com) and a 200 HTTP status, confirming the domain remains operational. Defenders should prioritize blocking this domain at DNS and network levels, particularly in environments handling cryptocurrency transactions. The exact mechanics of the crypto drainer—such as wallet interaction or contract exploitation—are not yet analyzed, but the domain's branding and known scam type align with typical malicious wallet-draining schemes. No legitimate association with Bitcoin or its ecosystem exists.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260712-48C612
Favicon MD5:       a646494f8e1a0abfe874959f2ebbe002
TLS cert SHA-256:      f3fb4f62157324f6080a8aed6fb50c7519f41e33da363b46a034a4d3f08aa829

## 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.
