## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-05 06:11:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies saharalabsai.com as a generic phishing domain actively propagating tech support scams. The domain mimics legitimate AI or lab service branding without association to any well-known entity, suggesting a hastily constructed lure. No drainer kit artifacts or JavaScript payloads were observed in initial sandbox analysis, indicating a low-complexity operation likely relying on social engineering and urgency-based prompts.  This domain was flagged for generic phishing and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. It carries a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing (GSB), and is registered through Global Domain Group LLC. The domain was created on April 27, 2026 — an unusually recent registration date that correlates with the onset of scam campaigns. As of now, it appears on zero public blocklists, indicating a newly emerged threat with minimal community exposure.  Currently active and unresolved, saharalabsai.com poses a moderate risk due to delayed detection and absence of signature-based warnings. Immediate mitigation should involve network-level blocking of IP 188.114.96.3 and domain registration. Users should refrain from interacting with the site and report any encounters to CERT teams. Remaining risk is classified as under investigation, with potential escalation to high severity pending further behavioral analysis and sandbox detonation results.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260505-02CEDC
Favicon MD5:       545a8d53491e417e6d6c10b6d1d949c1
TLS cert SHA-256:      6d9cffe552e6b2a3f2a8a70696b788352d0f253436040b7e372a4b29367ffdff

## 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.
