# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 20:48:19 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: ecommerce Targeted brand: Amazon ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 16.12.43.26 (MY, Kuala Lumpur) ASN: ASAS16509 AMAZON-02, US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: MarkMonitor, Inc. Nameservers: ["ns-1321.awsdns-37.org", "ns-1670.awsdns-16.co.uk", "ns-27.awsdns-03.com", "ns-967.awsdns-56.net"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: CBX HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Amazon / Amazon RSA 2048 M01 Expires: 2026-09-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8783d4c015875ea5fff612a54db1c6a601d72ebee45741f68f1fd8a0b8eadae8 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - s3-ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com - s3-control.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com - s3-control.dualstack.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com - s3-deprecated.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com - s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com - s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:19:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 01:44:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01981ce9-d4df-7419-8c49-35c755d6f553/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:38:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com as a domain involved in brand impersonation targeting Amazon. Classified as a low-risk threat, this domain attempted to deceive users by mimicking Amazon’s brand identity. The page title 'CBX' suggests an effort to appear legitimate, though it did not convincingly replicate Amazon’s official interface. Technically, the domain resolved to the IP address 16.12.43.26 and was registered through MarkMonitor, Inc., a known registrar. Created on February 21, 2026, it appeared in one security blocklist and was flagged by a single security vendor on VirusTotal, reflecting minimal detection across the security community. The Gridinsoft trust score rated it 0/100, indicating low trustworthiness. The domain was hosted on an AWS S3 endpoint in the Asia Pacific Southeast region, which is commonly used for legitimate storage but can also be abused for hosting phishing content. Currently, cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com is taken offline, mitigating further risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant against similar impersonation attempts by verifying URLs and accessing Amazon services through official channels only. Continued monitoring and blocking of this domain ensure that its potential for harm remains minimal. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ed9e53d4b9d3b8579baf5b14d150d5fc TLS cert SHA-256: 8783d4c015875ea5fff612a54db1c6a601d72ebee45741f68f1fd8a0b8eadae8 ## 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/cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cbx-zone.s3.ap-southeast-5.amazonaws.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.
