Research path
- Preserve the provided message, headers and timestamps.
- Review URLs in an isolated, authorized analysis environment.
- Compare domain, certificate and hosting observations.
- Record indicators with source, time and confidence.
A source-linked timeline, normalized indicator table and defensive review notes. Infrastructure overlap is recorded as an association, not proof of a common operator.
