## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 13:38:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, workusdc.com, is currently under investigation for operating as a phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users under the guise of a crypto-paid work marketplace. Analysis indicates the site specifically impersonates legitimate USDC payment platforms, attempting to deceive victims into transferring funds or disclosing wallet credentials. The domain remains active as of the latest verification.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on May 22, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 172.67.206.18. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security vendors, suggesting the threat is either newly emerged or evasive. The domain appears on only 1 security blocklist, and its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). The page title, 'WorkUSDC | Crypto-Paid Work Marketplace,' reinforces the fraudulent narrative.  Current risk assessment indicates a moderate-to-high threat level due to the domain's active status, low detection rate, and direct targeting of cryptocurrency transactions. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and associated IP (172.67.206.18) at the network level. Users should verify payment requests through official channels and avoid interacting with unsolicited work or investment opportunities. Monitoring for additional blocklist inclusions and vendor detections is recommended, as the domain's low visibility may change rapidly.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      232e2f1a2c479e5796644a1070b4e6c2518533bcb8a0171d56c0c4e7fdfabc81

## 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.
