# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aurealone.network ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 14:26:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aurealone.network/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 46/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.144.161 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: OwnRegistrar, Inc. Nameservers: amber.ns.cloudflare.com, peter.ns.cloudflare.com Page title: Just a moment... HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-09-17 08:59:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-14 03:53:32 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-27 05:48:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019956e6-75c2-72d8-9406-6da53f3244fd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aurealone.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aurealone.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aurealone.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aurealone.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aurealone.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:24:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aurealone.network as a generic phishing domain that previously hosted deceptive content under the page title "Just a moment...". The domain aimed to trick users into divulging sensitive information, although its risk level is assessed as low. The site’s presence on at least one security blocklist and detection by a single antivirus vendor highlights its suspicious nature. The infrastructure behind aurealone.network included registration through OwnRegistrar, Inc. and resolution to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain is currently offline, removing immediate access to the phishing content. Despite limited detection by security vendors, the domain's prior activity aligns with typical phishing tactics involving transient landing pages and quick takedown to evade detection. Users are advised to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with suspicious links or domains similar to aurealone.network. Phishing campaigns often rotate domains rapidly, and taking precautions such as verifying URLs before sharing credentials and employing security tools will help reduce exposure to these threats. Reporting any suspicious communications linked to this domain is encouraged to support broader threat mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 4c13d452dd5d49671bd93ca32f2b4f85c78e39b6ab0ad1f38d98ed267f8fd896 ## 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/aurealone.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aurealone.network 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.
