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: 2026-04-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-01 09:20:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-01 06:21:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-07 11:21:56 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:32:47 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de231-68e1-7035-ae99-b42692d0c69f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9f2d74d0-f4ca-4864-9e1a-e6e26935beed Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/authenticpodbridge.cyou crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.authenticpodbridge.cyou Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=authenticpodbridge.cyou AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/authenticpodbridge.cyou URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/authenticpodbridge.cyou/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-01 09:21:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies a recently activated phishing domain, authenticpodbridge.cyou, leveraging a podcast-themed lure to deceive potential victims. The domain does not impersonate a specific brand but employs a generic phishing approach, suggesting the threat actors may be using a drainer kit designed to harvest credentials or cryptocurrency wallet information. The infrastructure and naming convention imply an attempt to appear legitimate within podcasting or media-related contexts, likely targeting users expecting audio content or related services. This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection rate of 0 out of 95 engines as of the latest scan tied to seed 997bf6. It was registered through Dynadot LLC and went live on April 29, 2026. DNS resolution points to IP address 104.21.47.118, which is associated with known malicious activity. The domain currently resides on 2 security blocklists and has been blocked by SEAL and MetaMask. Let’s Encrypt issued an SSL certificate for the domain, which may be used to establish false trust with potential victims. Notably, Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged this domain, indicating a window of opportunity for threat actors before widespread detection. As of this advisory, the domain remains active with a status marked as under_investigation. Immediate response actions have included blocking by SEAL and MetaMask, alongside inclusion on multiple threat intelligence platforms. While the current risk level is classified as under_investigation, the lack of detections by antivirus engines and GSB suggests a developing threat. Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to report any suspicious encounters. Security teams should monitor for related infrastructure and update blocklists accordingly. The remaining risk hinges on the rapid adoption of these countermeasures and the domain’s continued exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-4D624B Favicon MD5: 17816a5a52c783b038303496d8716632 TLS cert SHA-256: cb09cb56c619903f67f185e94faf77769da357c0e704877c0f1dca268756628a ## 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/authenticpodbridge.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=authenticpodbridge.cyou 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.
