Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] excelformula.in: Confirmed Microsoft 365 Credential Phishing Site This domain, excelformula.in, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting Microsoft 365 credentials. Registered on September 6, 2023, through GoDaddy, it remains active as of July 18, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP 103.191.208.92 and uses nameservers ns37.domaincontrol.com and ns38.domaincontrol.com. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. Threat intelligence indicates the domain appears in five AlienVault OTX pulses, suggesting repeated malicious activity. VirusTotal reports 10 of 91 security vendors flagging the domain, though the specific detection rules or payloads are not detailed in available data. The domain's name, excelformula.in, implies a focus on Excel or Microsoft 365-related phishing, likely leveraging themes such as spreadsheet formulas, document sharing, or productivity software to deceive users. No specific brand impersonation or phishing kit details are confirmed, but the naming convention aligns with credential harvesting tactics. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and prioritize blocking it at DNS, proxy, and endpoint layers. Network logs should be reviewed for connections to 103.191.208.92 or the domain itself, particularly from users who may have interacted with Microsoft 365-related content. If internal phishing simulations or training materials reference Excel or formula-related lures, this domain may serve as a real-world example for awareness. Further analysis of the site's content is recommended to confirm the exact phishing kit or payload, though defenders should assume credential theft intent based on current intelligence. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260718-7DE4F7 Favicon MD5: c2cac35f893f515743c5570022f4f292 TLS cert SHA-256: be5a52195eab0c4ac0978d66d714a0fe12ff9dd5ff7e17f44120089d092f8fe2 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/excelformula.in/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=excelformula.in 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
