## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-16 01:40:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain tesscogames.com was registered on May 16, 2026 through Namecheap Inc. It is currently active and resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3, served by Cloudflare nameservers princess.ns.cloudflare.com and roan.ns.cloudflare.com. The single observed page returns HTTP 200 and carries the title "Whispers of Fate". Threat intelligence from AlienVault OTX records the domain in three separate pulses, indicating repeated observation by the community. VirusTotal analysis shows that eight of ninety-one scanners have flagged the host, reinforcing the high-risk assessment. The evidence points to a generic phishing operation, though the specific lure or credential-capture vector has not been disclosed. Uncertainty remains regarding the content of the site beyond the title and the exact phishing template employed. Defenders should consider adding tesscogames.com to blocklists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated IP and nameservers, and employing sink-hole redirects where feasible. Continuous re-evaluation is advised as additional telemetry becomes available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      0101c3d9fd23db3d74890fbaa0bb8d5a46258c6f3cf6e5de0fe6594596c06967

## 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.
