home.skype Phishing Site Detected

On July 26, 2026, the domain home.skype was flagged as a generic phishing site. The domain is currently active and has been blocked by PhishDestroy. It appears on one public security blocklist. Registration information shows the domain was registered through MarkMonitor, Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate enterprises, indicating the registrant may be leveraging a reputable registrar to obscure malicious intent. The authoritative name servers are ns1-05.azure-dns.com, ns2-05.azure-dns.net, ns3-05.azure-dns.org, and ns4-05 (truncated).

All four name servers belong to Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure, suggesting the hosting environment is Azure. HTTP queries to the domain return a 301 redirect response, but the target URL has not been disclosed in the available data. The domain was submitted to VirusTotal and scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines; none of the engines flagged the domain as malicious at the time of scanning. While the lack of detections may reflect the early stage of the campaign, it does not constitute evidence of safety.

No SSL certificate details, IP address, or geolocation data are present in the current intelligence set, and the page title has not been captured, leaving the visual content of the site unverified. The limited evidence points to a typical phishing infrastructure that relies on a trusted registrar and cloud‑based DNS to increase perceived legitimacy. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor DNS queries for the Azure name servers listed, and add the domain to internal blacklists. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services and periodic checks of the redirect target are recommended to detect any evolution of the payload or hosting changes.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      6518b5cda46d825d26a3d988aeaa6403b685f15cf1dfed771f0b523950770697

## 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.
