## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-03 15:26:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies staging.cathedral.professorflapjacks.com as an active phishing domain impersonating the Brand Cathedral. This campaign is currently under investigation and remains live as of seed 24a94c.

This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, registered through Gandi SAS, and resolves to IP 185.149.120.183. The domain was created on July 03, 2016, secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, and remains unlisted on major blocklists as of this report.

Due to the absence of detections on VirusTotal and unconfirmed blocklist status, immediate caution is advised. Users are recommended to avoid interacting with this domain, verify all communications purportedly from Cathedral, and report suspicious activity to their security teams. Security professionals should monitor for additional infrastructure linked to this domain and consider proactive blocking based on observed behavior.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 8/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260503-E95B87
TLS cert SHA-256:      8105379ceeafefb98ffd4aa9c9d35cad5d4cd224d60f9431eb709565d594f366

## 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.
