## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies www.govbtcclaim.org as a domain linked to a medium-level crypto drainer threat. The site, titled "GovBTCClaim Portal," aims to lure users possibly to extract cryptocurrency assets maliciously. Users should remain vigilant as this type of threat can result in significant financial loss if personal wallet credentials are compromised.

The domain was registered on July 6, 2025, via NameCheap, Inc. It resolves to IP address 76.76.21.164 and has been flagged on four different security blocklists, indicating repeated suspicious activity. VirusTotal assessments show detection by multiple security vendors, reinforcing concerns over its intent. The domain appears to be deliberately designed to mimic legitimate crypto claim portals to deceive users.

Currently, www.govbtcclaim.org remains active and continues to pose a risk to unsuspecting visitors. PhishDestroy strongly advises against interacting with the site or submitting any personal or crypto wallet information. Users should employ up-to-date security tools, report suspicious activity, and verify official sources before engaging with any cryptocurrency claim platforms.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       a211ca4656662180f2d4cc06776bf9acf74996569a5e039746fe7ac3b9d04a4c
TLS cert SHA-256:      fb1715e96f786e134c45e3ebe6509079e3cdaf069f102ddec3650780d1ff2d69

## 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.
