No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-28 17:30:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:41:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-23 16:20:39 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 15:02:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] amz36rd.s3 Amazon Impersonation Credential Theft Alert This domain is flagged as a high-risk credential theft operation impersonating Amazon infrastructure to harvest user login credentials. Analysis indicates the threat actor leverages legitimate cloud hosting services to bypass initial scrutiny while executing targeted phishing campaigns. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with large-scale credential harvesting, including the use of a trusted SSL certificate and a hosting provider commonly abused for phishing. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain amz36rd.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com is registered through Amazon AWS and resolves to the IP address 52.217.142.138. The SSL certificate is issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M04, a legitimate provider, which may aid in evading detection by less sophisticated security controls. The domain was created on May 28, 2026, an anomalous future date suggesting potential manipulation of registration metadata or a placeholder entry. It is currently active and appears on two security blocklists, while VirusTotal reports 5 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. Organizations and users are advised to implement the following mitigation measures to counter this credential theft threat. First, block the domain and its resolving IP address (52.217.142.138) at the network perimeter, including firewalls, proxies, and DNS filters. Second, deploy email filtering rules to quarantine messages containing links to the domain or its subdirectories, as these are likely delivery vectors for phishing attempts. Third, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts associated with the impersonated brand to mitigate the impact of stolen credentials. Finally, conduct user awareness training focusing on identifying cloud-hosted phishing domains, particularly those mimicking legitimate storage or hosting URLs, and report any suspicious activity to internal security teams for further investigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 7ebf42635dc32bcb97f60e383ee1f86339aacea239e156b98d741c7912671436 ## 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/amz36rd.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=amz36rd.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.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.
