## ANALYST NARRATIVE

[Generated: 2026-07-30 14:29:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

verify-user.surge.sh Credential Phishing Alert

The domain verify-user.surge.sh is currently active and has been identified as a credential phishing site. Registration information indicates the domain was created through the Surge.sh hosting platform, a service commonly used for deploying static web applications. DNS queries return no explicit nameserver records, suggesting the domain may be relying on default or hidden name resolution mechanisms.

The domain resolves to the IP address 159.203.159.100, which is associated with the Surge.sh infrastructure and does not correspond to a dedicated corporate network. Security intelligence shows the domain is listed on one public blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that it is recognized by at least one anti‑phishing community. VirusTotal analysis reports that four out of ninety‑one scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious, providing additional confirmation of suspicious behavior.

No further details such as SSL certificate data, HTTP response codes, page title, or content analysis are available at this time, leaving the exact nature of the phishing page and its target unknown. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk: it should be added to network and DNS blocklists, traffic to the IP address 159.203.159.100 should be monitored for anomalous credential submissions, and endpoint security solutions should be updated to include the domain in their threat feeds. Continuous observation is recommended to capture any changes in hosting, content, or detection status, and to gather more granular evidence should the site evolve.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      97b6f955e414ca95a3c57ecae57c2cba8532736157112d6cc11f56a5a790058a

## 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.
