## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 20:46:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain secondfi-update.live is actively engaged in credential theft, specifically targeting users of the SecondFi platform. This domain remains operational as of the latest verification, posing a high-risk threat to individuals interacting with cryptocurrency or financial services.  Analysis indicates that secondfi-update.live is flagged by 4 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, signaling detection by a subset of the security community. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered through Dynadot Inc on June 26, 2024. It appears on three distinct security blocklists, including those maintained by MetaMask and SEAL. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain was created recently, aligning with common tactics used in short-lived phishing campaigns.  Current status confirms that secondfi-update.live remains active, with no indications of takedown or mitigation efforts. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address at the network level. Users should be educated on recognizing credential theft attempts, particularly those impersonating financial or cryptocurrency platforms. Monitoring for unusual authentication attempts or unauthorized access linked to this domain is recommended. If interaction with the domain has occurred, immediate password resets and multi-factor authentication enforcement are critical to mitigate potential account compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       ec16bb14216f8de738bc1998c31a4b37
TLS cert SHA-256:      fbf694bbe71c597eaa9b0bb5d11ace64721563714d8e1e2bfa3f3b11e0af297c

## 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.
