## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:01:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies thrchain.org as a potential brand impersonation threat, where attackers mimic the legitimate thorchain brand to deceive users. 
   
This domain was flagged due to its recent creation on May 08, 2026, and its registration through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, with a VirusTotal detection rate of 0/95, indicating it has not been widely flagged yet. The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, and it resolves to the IP address 172.67.219.179.

If a user visited thrchain.org, they should immediately monitor their account activity for any suspicious transactions, considering the site's impersonation of thorchain, and report any anomalies to the relevant authorities, as this domain has been taken offline and appears on 1 security blocklist, with its presence noted in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, highlighting the need for continued vigilance

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       2a4a09444e880ab13bd2635e815798fd
TLS cert SHA-256:      6bccd864a4651b688fec5e1d215162c3ac56902851a921dc2e90cfa57e3148f1

## 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.
