## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-28 10:04:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

sun718.com - Generic Phishing Investigation

sun718.com is currently registered through Realtime Register B.V. and remains active as of the report date. The domain resolves to the authoritative name servers ns1.domainnamedns.com and ns2.domainnamedns.com. An HTTP request to the root URL returns a 200 OK status, indicating that a web service is reachable.

VirusTotal analysis shows that 15 of 91 scanned security vendors label the domain as malicious, reflecting a moderate consensus of detection. The domain is listed on one external security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, reinforcing its classification as a phishing vector. No additional intelligence such as IP address, hosting ASN, country of operation, SSL certificate details, or page title has been disclosed, leaving the underlying infrastructure partially opaque.

The lack of visible branding or targeted brand information in the available data prevents precise attribution of the phishing campaign’s intended victims. Analysts should treat sun718.com as a high‑risk phishing domain and incorporate it into network perimeter defenses, URL filtering, and email security policies. Continuous monitoring for changes in hosting, certificate issuance, or new detection signatures is recommended, as is periodic re‑query of reputation services to capture any escalation in malicious activity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f4f8667e6ab43d540f34d969d9f8529e
TLS cert SHA-256:      02d0e6a9280b346b0293f82abfa965aa51a5a3d75b5d2ccf33ffd89525441871

## 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.
