## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:26:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies useless-coin.claims as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain linked to the Angel Drainer kit, posing threats to users' cryptocurrency wallets. Such scams aim to steal digital assets, making awareness crucial.

The domain was registered on December 10, 2025, via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, and resolved to IP 188.114.96.3 before being taken offline. It appeared on multiple security blocklists and triggered detections by 4 security vendors on VirusTotal.

Users are advised to avoid any interaction with useless-coin.claims or related links, especially regarding cryptocurrency transactions. Always verify sources and use trusted wallets to protect digital assets from such draining threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      68ba698edda9a577187873d253b0f5e9253925667fb784394a6763b9428794a9

## 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.
