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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 03:36:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-15 03:35:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:58 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e290d-e73b-7252-9444-5931e8542d91/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aurmarkstead-ai.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aurmarkstead-ai.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aurmarkstead-ai.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aurmarkstead-ai.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aurmarkstead-ai.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-15 03:37:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aurmarkstead-ai.com as a generic phishing domain currently under investigation. This site mimics legitimate AI tools to steal login credentials or install malware on unsuspecting visitors. The domain was registered on May 07, 2026, and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. VirusTotal currently shows 3/95 detections, meaning antivirus engines have not yet flagged it despite its suspicious behavior. This domain was flagged through automated threat intelligence pipelines that correlate new domains with known phishing patterns. It uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy, and is registered via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar often associated with high-volume domain registrations. The combination of a recent creation date, low detection rate, and lack of reputable hosting infrastructure increases the risk of this being an active phishing campaign targeting users seeking AI tools. If you visited aurmarkstead-ai.com, do not enter any credentials or download files. Close your browser immediately and run a full antivirus scan. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and avoid clicking any links from unsolicited emails or ads. Monitor your accounts for unusual activity. If you entered personal information, change your passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Always verify the legitimacy of AI tools by visiting official websites directly through trusted sources. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: bc5b64dfb2443593bd396bd1d2fbe9d085b9f385aa5ac3836159676f1feeead4 ## 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/aurmarkstead-ai.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aurmarkstead-ai.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.
