## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-17 14:20:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

shortzy.net is currently classified as a generic_phishing infrastructure with a high risk rating and an active status as of July 17, 2026. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on March 20, 2025 and resolves to the IPv4 address 185.68.16.193. Authoritative name servers listed are ns117.inhostedns.com, ns217.inhostedns.net, and ns317.inhostedns.org. VirusTotal analysis shows that 11 of 91 security vendors flagged the domain, indicating a measurable level of malicious detection. The available intelligence does not include payload samples, landing page content, or targeted brands, leaving the specific phishing vector uncertain. Defenders should treat shortzy.net as hostile: block DNS resolution and HTTP(S) traffic to the domain, add the IP address 185.68.16.193 to network deny lists, and monitor for any outbound connections from internal hosts. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised should additional indicators, such as malicious payloads or victim reports, become available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260717-ADF025
TLS cert SHA-256:      d15895eaee14d377ebe65cc38bb02bc4c46cb91f97ff777e4652dd489d23f84d

## 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.
