## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:18:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies sideshift.app as a phishing domain impersonating the SideShift platform. Such sites aim to trick users into revealing sensitive data by posing as legitimate services.

This phishing campaign operated via a hastily built webpage with poor performance scores and was registered recently. Although no antivirus engines flagged it, the domain appeared on a security blocklist and has been taken offline.

If you visited sideshift.app, do not provide any personal or financial information. Change passwords linked to SideShift accounts and monitor for suspicious activity. Always verify URLs before interacting with crypto or financial platforms.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       70143e9470b2664021287e74525e6bd9
TLS cert SHA-256:      f6f65f3e950d1af23a21a4a5315537bf8dc6be71ad22bedf5bb958cb4329ce63

## 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.
