# PhishDestroy threat dossier — auth-secure.me ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 08:34:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/auth-secure.me/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, URLQuery, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: GANDI SAS Nameservers: ["GEORGIA.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM", "SALVADOR.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM"] Registered: 2026-04-02 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-02 17:30:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 08:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-03 01:51:47 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:06:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain auth-secure.me has been identified as a credential phishing infrastructure designed to harvest user login credentials through fraudulent authentication portals. This domain does not explicitly impersonate a single well-known brand but instead mimics generic secure login interfaces, likely targeting users across multiple platforms. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity remains a documented threat vector. Analysis indicates that auth-secure.me was flagged by 18 of 95 security vendors on a widely used detection platform, reflecting a moderate-to-high confidence level in its malicious classification. The domain was registered on April 2, 2026, through an undisclosed registrar, and no associated IP addresses have been publicly attributed at this time. Infrastructure records show the domain appeared on two distinct security blocklists, further corroborating its malicious intent. No additional trust scores or reputation metrics were available, though the combination of detection counts and blocklist inclusions suggests elevated risk. Current status confirms the domain is offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, historical activity and infrastructure patterns warrant continued monitoring. Organizations are advised to implement proactive measures, including domain-based email filtering, endpoint detection rules for credential harvesting attempts, and user training to recognize generic phishing tactics. Network defenders should review logs for prior interactions with auth-secure.me and assess potential credential exposure. Given the domain's creation date in 2026, this may represent an early-stage or test campaign, necessitating vigilance for related infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a ## 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/auth-secure.me/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=auth-secure.me 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.
