## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:09:11 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 telegrameim.com as a high-risk brand impersonation domain targeting Telegram users. This fraudulent website mimics Telegram’s official download portal, using a Chinese-language page title to lure users into downloading malicious software or providing sensitive information. The domain’s purpose is to deceive victims by leveraging Telegram’s trusted brand reputation.

Technical analysis reveals that telegrameim.com was registered on July 17, 2025, through P.A. Viet Nam Company Limited. It resolved to IP address 216.150.1.1 and appeared on at least one security blocklist. Additionally, 16 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain on VirusTotal for suspicious activity. The domain infrastructure and registration details suggest deliberate malicious intent to exploit Telegram’s user base.

Currently, telegrameim.com has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk. However, PhishDestroy advises users to remain cautious of similar phishing attempts and verify URLs carefully before downloading or submitting credentials. Organizations and individuals should update security filters to block this domain and related phishing variants to prevent potential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       696d8fdd771dc5ebe5af5da8a0f680e469faaf34f40a9f2cfadb048738b1db4d
TLS cert SHA-256:      8c86f5eb5463805a21bce5005b0a1c79383a665c7249067395db3bb4e8bc6110

## 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.
