================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-21 09:00:03 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/admin.autodiscover.patiobydesign.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 54/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Fortinet, G-Data, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["ns1.dreamhost.com", "ns2.dreamhost.com", "ns3.dreamhost.com"]

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-19 13:00:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 08:20:23 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:44 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

Is admin.autodiscover.patiobydesign.com a Scam?

admin.autodiscover.patiobydesign.com is currently listed as an active generic phishing infrastructure. The domain resolves with an HTTP 301 redirect, indicating an intentional forwarding step that is commonly used to hide the final malicious landing page. It has been added to at least one public blocklist and was flagged by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. VirusTotal reports that eight out of ninety‑one scanning engines have identified the domain as malicious, confirming a non‑trivial detection rate. The presence of multiple detections and the blocklist entry suggest that the domain is being used to host or relay credential‑harvesting campaigns, although the exact payload or targeted brand has not been disclosed in the available intelligence. Uncertainty remains regarding the hosting provider, geographic location, and the specific phishing kit employed. Defenders should add the domain to DNS and URL filtering policies, monitor outbound traffic for connections to the host, and consider isolating any email that references the “autodiscover” sub‑domain pattern. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the domain may evolve or be retired without notice.

## 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.
