## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:16:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies usdcfun.app as an active brand impersonation phishing domain targeting Solana users. It falsely advertises launching Solana meme coins with USDC, attempting to deceive crypto enthusiasts.

The domain was registered via Name.com, Inc. on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP 64.29.17.65. It appears on two security blocklists, with 5 of 95 VirusTotal scanners flagging it as suspicious, supporting its medium threat level.

Currently active, usdcfun.app should be avoided to prevent credential theft or financial loss. Monitoring and blocking measures are recommended to mitigate exposure to this ongoing phishing campaign.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      fd598545514d78df2f542e4bab73354ce9eb23a41a1d38d96b2bccf14aab38ae

## 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.
