  - www.auth-secure-connect.online

## 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: 2026-02-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 06:45:59 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-19 12:20:44 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-08 14:44:26 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 13:20:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

auth-secure-connect.online is an active credential phishing site designed to steal login credentials from unsuspecting users. The domain mimics legitimate authentication or secure connection pages, tricking visitors into entering sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or even financial details. Once submitted, this data is harvested by attackers for unauthorized access to accounts, identity theft, or further cybercrime. The site is currently live and poses a high risk to anyone who encounters it.

PhishDestroy's analysis, combined with VirusTotal data, shows that 5 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious. The domain resolves to IP address 65.109.108.83, which may be associated with other phishing or fraudulent activities. Although specific creation and registrar details are not provided in this intelligence, the high risk level and active status indicate that the domain is being actively used for credential theft. Users should treat any interaction with this domain as a serious security threat.

If you have visited auth-secure-connect.online, do not enter any personal information. Immediately change passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Run a full antivirus scan on your device to check for any malware. Report the domain to PhishDestroy and relevant authorities to help protect others. Stay vigilant against similar phishing attempts by verifying URLs before clicking and using security tools to block known malicious sites.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      938506884920443eba198eee3598aeaac879fc3c83c24f24c51fb24ec6bff701

## 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.
