Nameservers: ["ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net", "ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net"] Page title: This website domain has been seized by Microsoft HTTP response: 302 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Microsoft Corporation / Microsoft TLS G2 RSA CA OCSP 04 Expires: 2026-10-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 47cf9d52720eb8cb1e973f7b0172ae325cb45aaff2c29221b976968b02f882e6 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - aardvarkw.live - absoulpushx.life - aeneasq.live - aiupdatesd.live - ammoanaly.live - animalantpics.live - antikidi.live - antilcvope.live - appgridn.live - axionexv.life - bardsyies.live - battlewlds.live - bearjk.live - bisonq.live - bitteam.info ... +135 more ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 13:23:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 08:20:26 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 13:24:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Alert: hoparround.live used in high‑risk phishing campaign The domain hoparround.live is currently classified as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure. VirusTotal reports that 17 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating a significant detection rate among scanning engines. HTTP probing returns a 302 redirect, a pattern commonly used to forward victims to malicious payloads after initial contact. Registration data shows the domain was purchased through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar often associated with legitimate brand protection services, suggesting the attackers may have leveraged a compromised or authorized account. The domain is listed on one security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, confirming that at least one defensive network has taken mitigation steps. Nameserver records resolve to ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net, pointing to infrastructure under the microsoftinternetsafety.net namespace, though no further attribution is provided. The threat status remains active as of the report date, July 26 2026, and the risk level is marked high. Available intelligence does not include page title, SSL certificate details, IP address, or geographic location, leaving the exact hosting environment and target brand undefined. Consequently, the specific phishing lure and victim profile cannot be confirmed at this time. Defenders should prioritize immediate blocking of hoparround.live at network perimeter and DNS layers, incorporate the domain into threat‑intel feeds, and monitor for any related C2 infrastructure that shares the same nameservers. Continuous re‑scanning with sandbox services is advised to capture any payloads delivered after the 302 redirect. Organizations should also review recent user reports for similar redirection patterns and enforce multi‑factor authentication to mitigate credential theft risk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 47cf9d52720eb8cb1e973f7b0172ae325cb45aaff2c29221b976968b02f882e6 ## 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/hoparround.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hoparround.live 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.
