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

Fetched:   2026-07-21 11:06:15 UTC

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 55/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      9/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, 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 13:00:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 12:20:25 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

[Generated: 2026-07-19 21:20:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

api.micfxflowiseai-preview.patiobydesign.com: Confirmed

Analysis of api.micfxflowiseai-preview.patiobydesign.com as of July 19, 2026, confirms an active credential-phishing endpoint. The domain returns an HTTP 301 redirect, a common technique used to obscure the final phishing page or exfiltrate stolen credentials. Nine of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, and it appears on one security blocklist, including a detection by PhishDestroy. The infrastructure remains operational, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation at the time of reporting.  The subdomain structure (api.micfxflowiseai-preview) suggests an attempt to mimic a legitimate API or cloud service, though the exact brand or service being impersonated is not confirmed in available data. No phishing kit or specific scam category has been identified. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and block it at the DNS or proxy level. Network logs should be reviewed for connections to this endpoint, particularly any HTTP 301 responses, which may indicate successful credential harvesting or further redirection to malicious infrastructure. Further investigation into the final destination of the redirect is recommended to determine the full scope of the phishing operation.

## 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.
