## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-07 09:51:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies the active domain trx-energy.cx as a crypto drainer impersonating an energy firm. Current risk status remains under investigation as the threat is actively being analyzed.

This domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered through CentralNic Ltd on May 04, 2026. As of the latest scan, the domain shows 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it has evaded initial detection mechanisms. No third-party blocklist counts or trust scores are currently available for this domain.

Users are advised to exercise extreme caution when accessing trx-energy.cx. The domain employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend false legitimacy. Until further analysis is complete, users should verify the legitimacy of any energy-related transactions or communications through PhishDestroy or trusted security platforms. Avoid clicking links or downloading files from this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260507-0C67A7
Favicon MD5:       20e4117e295f11d979d7d0342e810c24
TLS cert SHA-256:      a98a668c27b400352c78aaf88690eaa6335421577d1d1b28a4fcd1ec55c9d14f

## 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.
