## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:50:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies safe.pal-extension.cc as a high-risk phishing domain targeting SafePal users by impersonating the official brand. Such sites pose a serious threat by deceiving victims into sharing sensitive information.

This phishing operation tricks users with a fake SafePal site designed to capture login credentials or private keys. The domain was flagged on multiple blocklists and detected by several security tools before being taken offline.

If you visited safe.pal-extension.cc, immediately change your SafePal passwords and enable two-factor authentication. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and report any unauthorized transactions to SafePal support.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      6f552c37efe1977f9768eae3a94a7700d234b4d9a002fbf96b3dacc311f7806f

## 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.
