## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:00:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies webmail.creditunion-authority.com as a domain posing a generic phishing threat, which is currently offline, impersonating a credit union authority. 

This domain was flagged by 12 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a significant security concern, and is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., resolving to the IP address 52.204.246.179, created on May 11, 2026, and appears on 2 security blocklists, suggesting a lack of trustworthiness, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, specifically the R13 certificate. 

Given the current offline status of webmail.creditunion-authority.com, it is crucial for users to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain, as the generic phishing threat it poses can lead to sensitive information disclosure, and users should verify the authenticity of websites before providing personal or financial information, especially when encountering domains with low trust scores, such as this one, which has been flagged by multiple security vendors and blocklists, with the unique seed 9697e3 highlighting the significance of this threat analysis

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       91eb1c5166c050d61d85cd638a56566a
TLS cert SHA-256:      87859c83aa9b223545135b3c4c167650182a020de0dbecec1e77270dc1632561

## 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.
