aiupdatesd.live — Credential Phishing Investigation

Analysis of the domain aiupdatesd.live as of 19 July 2026 shows that it remains operational and is currently listed on a single security blocklist. HTTP requests to the host return a 302 status code, indicating a redirection to another location, a behavior frequently employed by credential‑phishing campaigns to route victims to a malicious login interface. The domain is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming its classification as a phishing vector. VirusTotal records indicate that 17 of 91 scanned security vendors flag the domain as malicious, providing independent corroboration of its threat posture. The public intelligence does not disclose the landing‑page content, targeted brand, or the specific phishing kit used, leaving the precise credential‑harvesting technique uncertain. The domain carries a high risk rating, and its continued activity suggests an ongoing attempt to collect user credentials. Defenders should add aiupdatesd.live to outbound web‑filter and DNS‑allowlist denial lists, monitor DNS and network logs for related queries, consider sinkholing the domain to disrupt traffic, and propagate the indicator to peers. Ongoing monitoring is advised to capture any changes in hosting, redirection targets, or additional detections.

## 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.
