# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cloudminestar.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-12 15:10:48 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cloudminestar.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.7 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["dns1.lytehosting.com", "dns2.lytehosting.com", "dns3.lytehosting.com", "dns4.lytehosting.com"] Registered: 2026-04-28 Page title: Cloud Mine Star – Global Leader of Financial Investments HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5104d61eae057430ebe3524fada22728db6031319b9649d1dcc423183aaedde9 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.account.cloudminestar.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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 23:40:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 20:41:24 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-12 12:56:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 03:44:16 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/019dd5d1-5ab4-726a-9a4d-ef26f7a3c6e5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/11101c13-35ff-4fce-83ce-12f7d74cc117 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cloudminestar.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cloudminestar.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cloudminestar.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cloudminestar.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cloudminestar.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 23:41:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] cloudminestar.com is a recently activated Microsoft 365 phishing domain designed to steal corporate or personal login credentials. The site mimics a familiar cloud-login interface to trick users into entering their Microsoft 365 username and password, which are then harvested by the attackers. Once credentials are captured, threat actors can access email accounts, sensitive documents, and other connected services, leading to data theft, financial fraud, or follow-on attacks against colleagues or contacts. PhishDestroy’s investigation reveals this domain was registered on September 25, 2024, through Dynadot Inc. and resolves to IP address 163.61.188.7. VirusTotal shows only 1 out of 95 security vendors currently flags the domain, indicating low detection despite active abuse. The domain uses a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may increase trust perception and reduce suspicion among users. The combination of a recent registration, low detection rate, and legitimate SSL infrastructure suggests this is part of a fast-moving phishing campaign targeting Microsoft cloud users. If you visited cloudminestar.com or entered any login details: change your Microsoft 365 password immediately using a known-safe device and network. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) if not already active. Scan your device for malware with trusted security software. Report the incident to your IT or security team and warn colleagues to avoid the domain. Never reuse the same password across services and monitor your accounts for unusual activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-B38F23 Favicon MD5: c54ca2961adee032519e4f22897a5e26 TLS cert SHA-256: 5104d61eae057430ebe3524fada22728db6031319b9649d1dcc423183aaedde9 ## 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/cloudminestar.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cloudminestar.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.
