## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:51:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies texabaycu.com as a high-risk generic phishing domain designed to impersonate a financial institution, specifically mimicking TexasBay Credit Union. This type of threat is critical as it aims to deceive users into revealing sensitive personal and financial information, potentially leading to identity theft and financial loss.

The domain texabaycu.com was registered recently on August 20, 2024, through OwnRegistrar, Inc. It resolved to IP address 192.3.190.186 and was flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, it appeared on one security blocklist and holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. The phishing page titled "Home - TEXASBAY CREDIT UNION" has since been taken offline, indicating swift action against this threat.

Users should remain vigilant against unsolicited communications referencing texabaycu.com or related URLs. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or providing any personal or banking information on unverified sites. Always verify the authenticity of financial websites by checking official URLs and using trusted security tools to prevent falling victim to phishing scams.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 12/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       13e29a29baade86f4e7a88d8e076d6a6f3ac8950757b50a0f8bbea1c33658d5c
TLS cert SHA-256:      212cd4376548192e35db73dc13c129fb72f97fc1daaf95fd09b8d517936b49d5

## 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.
