## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-11 21:23:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies web3api.pro as a Web3 wallet phishing domain currently under active exploitation. The site mimics legitimate decentralized application interfaces to harvest wallet credentials and private keys from unsuspecting victims.

This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors despite hosting convincing phishing content. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 07, 2026, web3api.pro resolves to IP 172.67.175.11 using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. According to DNS and threat intelligence records, the domain remains unlisted on any major blocklists and maintains perfect trust metrics across most reputation engines.

While initial detection coverage remains low, organizations should block web3api.pro at DNS and network layers pending further investigation. Users attempting to access Web3 services should verify URLs against official documentation and enable wallet protection features. Security teams are advised to monitor for connections to 172.67.175.11 and inspect SSL certificates issued to this domain for continued exposure.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b6dc72970f27a5bbeb72391e08c45e36
TLS cert SHA-256:      4af005b6915a95dd014bb2791ebc24102211a90ae5d1c3a6fc9fac2edffeb6a4

## 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.
