## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 11:25:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies royalau.sbs as a high-risk domain due to its generic phishing threat type. 

This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, is registered through NAMECHEAP INC, and resolves to IP 172.67.135.44, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / YE2, however the creation date is not available.

To mitigate this threat, users should avoid interacting with royalau.sbs, especially when prompted to enter sensitive information, as generic phishing attacks often rely on deception to obtain user credentials, and instead report any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities, utilizing blocklists and trust scores to inform their online decisions, a1afd0.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-06-12

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       47cd79fa2df1f5ec0cefec2baa548577
TLS cert SHA-256:      3b4a26e5c515370c8f47cfa0061f0bc9c71a25a719e6821dd7725d4bdba54dcc

## 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.
