No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 13:23:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:20:24 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 13:24:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] home.xbox Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis of the domain home.xbox, observed on July 26, 2026, indicates that it is actively used for a generic phishing campaign. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly associated with legitimate high‑value brands, which does not inherently mitigate the observed malicious activity. DNS resolution is served by four Azure‑based nameservers: ns1-05.azure-dns.com, ns2-05.azure-dns.net, ns3-05.azure-dns.org, and ns4-05 (truncated). An HTTP request to the root URL returns a 301 redirect, suggesting the operator may be forwarding victims to a secondary landing page or employing URL shortening techniques. The indicator appears on a single security blocklist and is additionally listed by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that independent threat‑intelligence sources have flagged the domain. VirusTotal processed the domain with 91 scanning engines; none reported a detection at the time of analysis. While the absence of detections does not imply benign intent, it underscores the need for proactive defensive measures because the domain remains active. Given the limited visibility into the hosting infrastructure and the lack of publicly disclosed IP addresses, the full scope of the campaign’s backend cannot be precisely mapped. However, the combination of blocklist presence, redirect behavior, and the classification as generic phishing provides sufficient confidence to treat the domain as malicious. Defenders should immediately block any outbound or inbound traffic to home.xbox at the DNS or network layer, update URL filtering profiles to include the domain, and monitor for related indicators such as the Azure nameserver patterns. Continuous re‑scanning on multi‑engine platforms is advised to capture any future changes in detection status. The domain’s risk level remains under investigation, and further intelligence should be incorporated as it becomes available. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/home.xbox/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=home.xbox 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.
