Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] herwxtx.xyz — Microsoft-themed phishing redirector investigation Analysis conducted on July 26, 2026 identifies herwxtx.xyz as an active phishing redirector infrastructure exhibiting high-risk characteristics. The domain is currently flagged by 18 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating broad detection of malicious intent, and appears on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy). Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain employs nameservers ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net, which mimic legitimate Microsoft security services but are not associated with the official Microsoft network. This naming convention suggests an attempt to lend credibility to the phishing operation or evade automated detection systems. The domain returns an HTTP 302 status code, commonly used for temporary redirects, which is consistent with phishing campaigns that route victims to credential-harvesting or malware-distribution endpoints. Registration details indicate the domain was registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar frequently used for both legitimate and malicious domains, providing no definitive indication of intent on its own. No additional context regarding the final destination, targeted brand, or specific phishing kit is available at this time, as the exact content of the redirected page has not been analyzed. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as malicious and implement blocking measures at the DNS and network levels. Given the use of Microsoft-themed nameservers and the 302 redirect behavior, this infrastructure may be part of a larger campaign targeting users of Microsoft services. Organizations should monitor for connections to herwxtx.xyz and investigate any associated outbound traffic for signs of credential theft or secondary payload delivery. Further analysis of the redirect chain is recommended to identify the final phishing or malware endpoint. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 3617d652e82baf434b825f0bce175b34c690b2d74a6cf29638af84c68e7598d8 ## 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/herwxtx.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=herwxtx.xyz 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.
