## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-15 10:46:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies web3nodes.online as an active cryptocurrency phishing domain posing as a Web3 infrastructure service to harvest wallet credentials and private keys. The threat involves fake 'node' promotions and fraudulent wallet connection requests designed to deceive users into surrendering sensitive blockchain access. As of the current investigation, the domain remains unflagged by automated security systems despite active operations targeting crypto investors.  This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, operates through IP address 67.223.118.134, and was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on April 13, 2026. The combination of zero detections, recently created domain age, and association with cryptocurrency scams indicates a high-risk threat landscape requiring immediate user awareness and preventive action. The absence of blocklist entries suggests either evasion tactics or insufficient threat intelligence coverage in mainstream security databases.  Current status shows active deployment with SSL certification from Sectigo Limited, indicating the operators maintain basic security protocols to appear legitimate. PhishDestroy recommends users immediately block the domain web3nodes.online at network and DNS levels, avoid any cryptocurrency-related interactions with this service, and report wallet addresses or transaction hashes to relevant blockchain security communities. Users who may have engaged with this site should revoke all connected wallet permissions immediately and transfer remaining assets to a cold storage solution. Enhanced monitoring of outgoing connections to 67.223.118.134 is advised as this IP may host additional phishing infrastructure.

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

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      2bb5d8d5ae9459bcc7a55648f976bd9ee300748f804c7f4fa7b0a95471d525d9

## 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.
