## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      52.209.163.93
Registered:      2026-05-24

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Sectigo Limited / Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36
Expires:    2026-12-09
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 866a1e6137fd81d7fe0a481b50af81a0d60672db71c8e27b2cbf1e23dfebc26f
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - dropcloud.it

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-05-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 06:45:26 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-26 16:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 17:30:03 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 11:04:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, hr.dropcloud.it, is currently flagged as an active phishing site specializing in Microsoft 365 credential harvesting. Analysis indicates the infrastructure mimics enterprise human resources portals, likely targeting corporate employees with fake login prompts to capture Office 365 credentials. No direct association with known cryptocurrency drainer kits has been observed, though the credential theft methodology aligns with broader business email compromise (BEC) campaigns.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is detected by 16 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a creation date of May 24, 2026, suggesting an unusually forward-dated registration. The domain is registered through Tucows Inc. and resolves to the IP address 52.209.163.93, hosted in a cloud provider’s infrastructure. The SSL certificate is issued by Sectigo Limited under the Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 hierarchy. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by enterprise phishing detection systems.  As of the latest assessment, hr.dropcloud.it remains operational, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation. The domain’s continued activity, combined with its forward-dated registration and cloud-hosted infrastructure, presents a persistent risk for credential theft. Organizations are advised to block the domain at the DNS and proxy levels, monitor for internal access attempts, and educate users on recognizing phishing attempts targeting enterprise authentication portals. The unusually early creation date may indicate an attempt to evade reputation-based detection systems, warranting heightened scrutiny.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da
TLS cert SHA-256:      866a1e6137fd81d7fe0a481b50af81a0d60672db71c8e27b2cbf1e23dfebc26f

## 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 (volunteer 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.
