# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 16:51:30 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/93 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 20.75.233.177 (US, Washington) ASN: ASAS8075 MICROSOFT-CORP-MSN-AS-BLOCK, US Hosting org: AS8075 Microsoft Corporation Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Verifin ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R12 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-12 20:25:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-05 00:10:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01992857-3d46-70ae-aa1b-fdd0903b2284/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:07:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com as a potentially unsafe domain associated with phishing activity, currently under investigation. Though it is offline now, the domain was created recently on February 21, 2026, and hosted content titled "Verifin," which may have been used to deceive users. It currently appears on a security blocklist, signaling suspicion from security communities despite no detections on VirusTotal's scan. This phishing campaign likely functioned by presenting a convincing page designed to trick visitors into submitting sensitive information under the guise of verification or authentication. Attackers often leverage cloud infrastructure domains like this one to create a facade of legitimacy. Since the page is no longer active, direct exploitation is reduced, but any interaction with it could have led to credential theft or personal data compromise. Anyone who visited aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com should remain vigilant. It is recommended to immediately change any passwords or credentials entered on the site and monitor accounts for unusual activity. Users should also run thorough malware scans and consider enabling multi-factor authentication to enhance security. Staying informed about emerging phishing threats like this one is essential to prevent future risk. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aml-aks-dev.eastus.cloudapp.azure.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
