Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aupair-options.info Fake Au Pair Service Credential Harvesting This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk credential harvesting site impersonating legitimate au pair service platforms. Analysis indicates the domain aupair-options.info was specifically designed to deceive users into submitting login credentials, payment details, or personal information under the guise of a trusted au pair service provider. The threat type is classified as generic phishing with a focus on credential theft, a common tactic in fraudulent employment or service-related schemes. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 04, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 209.182.203.135, hosted by AS22611 (InMotion Hosting, Inc.) in the United States. The SSL certificate is identified as R12, a common type used in both legitimate and malicious domains. Detection metrics show 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while it appears on at least one security blocklist. The domain's page title, aupair-options.info, suggests minimal effort to mimic a legitimate brand, relying instead on broad targeting of users searching for au pair services. The domain has since been taken offline, though its infrastructure may remain dormant for future reuse. Mitigation for this threat type involves proactive monitoring of newly registered domains with similar naming patterns, particularly those impersonating employment or service-based platforms. Organizations should implement domain-based email filtering to block messages originating from or linking to suspicious domains. End users should verify the authenticity of service providers by cross-referencing official websites and avoiding unsolicited login or payment requests. Security teams are advised to monitor for indicators of compromise, including the IP address 209.182.203.135 and the R12 SSL certificate, in network logs or endpoint detection systems. Given the domain's recent creation date, heightened scrutiny of domains registered within the past 90 days is recommended to prevent similar phishing attempts. ## 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/aupair-options.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aupair-options.info 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.
