Hosting org: AWS EC2 (us-east-1) Registrar: MarkMonitor Inc. Nameservers: ["ns-1233.awsdns-26.org", "ns-1563.awsdns-03.co.uk", "ns-186.awsdns-23.com", "ns-699.awsdns-23.net"] Registered: 2026-04-28 HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 24e332fb6458d9f4c2ef7ebcf7621295f03e328147a0f4b5e28ab5fd440ea28c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - ohmybargains.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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 17:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 02:18:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:55:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain api.ohmybargains.com has been identified as a potential phishing threat, posing an elevated risk to users who may encounter it. This domain was primarily involved in malicious activities designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive personal information, potentially leading to identity theft or financial loss. The domain has been categorized under "generic_phishing," indicating that it was likely used to emulate legitimate services, thereby tricking individuals into sharing credentials or other sensitive data. Technical analysis reveals several concerning indicators. Notably, the domain is flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, underscoring the consensus among security experts about its malicious nature. Furthermore, the domain was listed on at least one security blocklist, specifically flagged by PhishDestroy. Registered through MarkMonitor Inc., the domain was created on April 28, 2026, suggesting a possible attempt to capitalize on future events or trends. Its hosting infrastructure is located in the United States, associated with an AWS EC2 instance in the us-east-1 region, specifically resolving to the IP address 52.204.246.179. The SSL certificate used by the domain was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for legitimate websites, but often exploited by malicious actors due to its accessibility. Users who have interacted with api.ohmybargains.com should take immediate action to secure their accounts and personal information. It is advisable to reset any passwords that may have been entered on this domain and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Additionally, users should enable two-factor authentication on all critical accounts to add an extra layer of security. Reporting any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities and seeking guidance on further protective measures is also recommended. By staying vigilant and taking these steps, users can mitigate the potential impact of exposure to this phishing threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a TLS cert SHA-256: 24e332fb6458d9f4c2ef7ebcf7621295f03e328147a0f4b5e28ab5fd440ea28c ## 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/api.ohmybargains.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=api.ohmybargains.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.
