## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-01 17:12:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies vote-firelight.icu as an active fake Firelight voting phishing domain. Current status remains active with escalating risk indicators since initial detection.

This domain was flagged by 5 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and has been blocked by MetaMask and SEAL. The domain resolves to IP 172.67.155.123, was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 24, 2026, and appears on 2 separate security blocklists. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, indicating an attempt to appear legitimate.

Security teams should treat vote-firelight.icu as a confirmed elevated threat. Immediate actions include blocking the domain at DNS and network levels, scanning for related artifacts within the environment, and ensuring user awareness campaigns highlight the risks of fake voting portals. The presence of a Let's Encrypt certificate and registration through a known bulk registrar increases the likelihood of similar domains appearing in the future.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260501-4DE870
TLS cert SHA-256:      13bdf5bbf157eb8763d52bc417150bb942a7daae4868bc67b595385b4ee8e85c

## 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.
