# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aa-careers.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-23 13:25:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aa-careers.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 63.176.8.218 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS16509 AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: Name.com, Inc. Nameservers: dns1.p04.nsone.net, dns2.p04.nsone.net, dns3.p04.nsone.net, dns4.p04.nsone.net Registered: 2026-06-25 Expires: 2027-06-25 Page title: Jobs at American Airlines HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0750ec9e71b859f18910ff924d8b4726a521082d4e4379a4daa013b98fd0cfa7 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 22:42:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-23 12:20:31 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-07 00:01:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f392a-3e39-705d-ac2d-c757c1594c1e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aa-careers.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aa-careers.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aa-careers.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aa-careers.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aa-careers.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 22:44:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is aa-careers.com Stealing Credentials? The domain aa-careers.com is tied to credential theft operations impersonating American Airlines job application processes. Infrastructure analysis reveals use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to support the fake recruitment site designed to harvest applicant login data. No drainer kit indicators are present in the observed setup. Technical indicators include a VirusTotal score of exactly 1/95 security vendors, registration through Name.com Inc., resolution to IP address 35.157.26.135, and creation date of June 25, 2026. The domain carries no Google Safe Browsing flags and shows a single vendor detection with no additional blocklist counts recorded. Current status remains active with the page title Jobs at American Airlines still served. Recommended actions include immediate blocking at network and endpoint layers plus monitoring for related domains sharing the same IP or registrar patterns. Residual risk persists for users searching airline employment opportunities due to the active hosting and low but confirmed detection rate. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 0750ec9e71b859f18910ff924d8b4726a521082d4e4379a4daa013b98fd0cfa7 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aa-careers.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aa-careers.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
