## 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: 2016-08-31 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-07-13 12:18:25 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-29 04:48:17 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-21 03:52:04 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

dl.securefiledrives.com Credential Phishing Alert

The domain dl.securefiledrives.com is currently active and has been identified as a credential phishing vector. Registration data shows the domain was created on August 31, 2016 and was registered through MarkMonitor, Inc., a registrar commonly associated with legitimate brand protection services. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 3.104.102.7, and the domain is served by four Amazon Route 53 name servers (ns-1512.awsdns-61.org, ns-1868.awsdns-41.co.uk, ns-424.awsdns-53.com, ns-993.awsdns). No additional infrastructure details have been disclosed, and the specific phishing landing page content has not been publicly analyzed. The threat classification is credential_phishing, and the risk level is marked as under_investigation. Because the domain resolves to a public IP and uses generic cloud‑based name servers, it is likely leveraging shared hosting resources to host malicious content. Defenders should block outbound connections to 3.104.102.7 and add dl.securefiledrives.com to URL filtering lists. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for this domain and related subdomains is advised, as is periodic re‑evaluation of the domain’s activity status. Organizations should educate users about unsolicited credential requests and enforce multi‑factor authentication to mitigate potential credential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260713-B4FCB4
TLS cert SHA-256:      a30bfb1bd3506d1677bc4a5a27de2b52e230a2145271a81e3830ae340d8041d5

## 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 (operator 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.
