Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: Go Daddy, LLC Nameservers: ["cruz.ns.cloudflare.com", "earl.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-01 Expires: 2027-02-11 Page title: AuroraMC Store - Official Minecraft Store ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-05-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6206e310f408c85e7e5b243169f5cfffea0f10cca0e9ab7d86c1dab37b2e434f ## 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: 2026-03-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-01 21:32:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-01 18:34:54 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-12 19:43:50 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 18:07:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019caaab-a810-733e-8131-9edfafe5cf59/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e848a625-2d55-44e1-b673-5cd833860071 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/auroramc.firestudio.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.auroramc.firestudio.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=auroramc.firestudio.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/auroramc.firestudio.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/auroramc.firestudio.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:51:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies auroramc.firestudio.online as a low-risk generic phishing domain impersonating an official Minecraft store. It was registered on March 1, 2026, via Go Daddy, LLC and flagged on one security blocklist. The domain resolved to IP 64.29.17.1 and had a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. VirusTotal detected 2 out of 95 vendors flagging it. The page title was "AuroraMC Store - Official Minecraft Store," indicating a store-themed phishing attempt. Currently, auroramc.firestudio.online is offline and no longer resolving. Users are advised to avoid interactions with this domain, as PhishDestroy confirms removal from active threats, but caution remains necessary. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260301-E77E99 Favicon MD5: 7ddd10d25cf390537f3bc9bd09f20f22 TLS cert SHA-256: 6206e310f408c85e7e5b243169f5cfffea0f10cca0e9ab7d86c1dab37b2e434f ## 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/auroramc.firestudio.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=auroramc.firestudio.online 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.
