# PhishDestroy threat dossier — document.dropcloud.it ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-30 12:07:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/document.dropcloud.it/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, SafeToOpen, Seclookup, URLQuery, Webroot Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 3.248.79.245 (IE, Dublin) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS EC2 (eu-west-1) Registrar: Aruba s.p.a. Nameservers: dns.technorail.com, dns2.technorail.com, dns3.arubadns.net, dns4.arubadns.cz Registered: 2023-10-05 Page title: Sign in to your Microsoft Account ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Sectigo Limited / Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 Expires: 2026-12-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 866a1e6137fd81d7fe0a481b50af81a0d60672db71c8e27b2cbf1e23dfebc26f Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - dropcloud.it ## 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: 2023-10-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-10 16:30:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 01:28:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:28:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d7792-f451-72fc-9300-c506b8af8e94/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/document.dropcloud.it crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.document.dropcloud.it Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=document.dropcloud.it AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/document.dropcloud.it URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/document.dropcloud.it/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-10 16:33:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, document.dropcloud.it, presents an elevated risk due to brand impersonation specifically targeting Microsoft. It actively attempts to deceive users by mimicking Microsoft's login interface, aiming to harvest sensitive credentials through social engineering techniques. Technical data reveals that document.dropcloud.it was registered recently on October 05, 2023, through Aruba s.p.a., a credible registrar. The domain resolves to the IP address 3.248.79.245 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Sectigo Limited, which may lend superficial legitimacy to the site. VirusTotal scanning shows that 6 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, confirming its malicious intent. Moreover, Google Safe Browsing has classified it under "SOCIAL_ENGINEERING," reinforcing the danger of credential theft. The page title "Sign in to your Microsoft Account" clearly indicates its target is Microsoft users, increasing the risk of successful impersonation. To mitigate the threat posed by document.dropcloud.it, users should avoid entering credentials on any site that is not verified as official by Microsoft. Organizations should implement domain and IP reputation monitoring, blocklisted domains, and educate employees about the risks of brand impersonation attacks. Security teams are advised to update web filters to block access to this domain and monitor for any related phishing attempts. Enabling multi-factor authentication on Microsoft accounts will also help reduce the potential damage from credential compromise facilitated by this fraudulent domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5c25dc4385fe5963f245c0f0dc98b4ca TLS cert SHA-256: 866a1e6137fd81d7fe0a481b50af81a0d60672db71c8e27b2cbf1e23dfebc26f ## 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/document.dropcloud.it/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=document.dropcloud.it 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.
