## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-18 17:04:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified startup.web3-world.com as an active crypto drainer site impersonating legitimate Web3 wallet services.

This domain was flagged under investigation after exhibiting clear phishing indicators. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and resolves to IP 47.237.173.9. VirusTotal shows 0 out of 95 security engines currently flagging it, and domain registration details indicate it was created on January 22, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC.

If you visited this site, avoid connecting any cryptocurrency wallets or entering sensitive credentials. Run a malware scan on your device and revoke any wallet connections made. Report the domain immediately via PhishDestroy to help protect others. Always verify URLs and use hardware wallets for transactions.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260518-62FA2C
Favicon MD5:       0854feb47f9301066f2fca219b2b9a53
TLS cert SHA-256:      8b5af06f189206cd7c37ccf676f3bae894e2bfe799b19a6213440c74776983be

## 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.
