## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-24 17:31:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain royalmedia.com, associated with a high threat score of 75/100, presents itself as a generic phishing operation and is currently down. It has been flagged as malicious by 3 out of 95 security vendors, including Gridinsoft, and is listed on one public blocklist, although Google Safe Browsing does not currently flag it.

Registered on May 25, 2026, with Domain.com - Network Solutions, LLC, this domain's infrastructure indicates a relatively recent creation. The hosting IP is 162.159.135.42, which may warrant further investigation due to its association with this phishing activity.

Given the high threat level, block the domain at the perimeter and submit a report to the registrar's abuse desk for further action.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       bbfb2a9a499c9a4a2c4d5c6dbf0cd3d0
TLS cert SHA-256:      3a220dcc7166df1c77d484f4f4b62aa05df6f793cca0cab380a4f2c8224ac5dc

## 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.
