images.bing — Generic Phishing Investigation

On July 26, 2026, analysis of the domain images.bing revealed several indicators consistent with a generic phishing operation. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc. and resolves to Azure DNS name servers (ns1-09.azure-dns.com, ns2-09.azure-dns.net, ns3-09.azure-dns.org, ns4-09...). An HTTP request returns a 301 status code, suggesting a permanent redirect, though the destination URL has not been disclosed.

The domain is listed on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that it has been identified as malicious by at least one reputable sinkhole. VirusTotal records indicate that the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors, and none reported a detection at the time of scanning; this absence of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee. The current operational status is marked as active, and the risk level remains under investigation.

No additional data such as page title, SSL fingerprint, hosting IP, or targeted brand has been released, leaving the exact phishing payload and victim profile uncertain. Defenders should consider adding images.bing to DNS and URL filtering block lists, monitor for any redirects or payloads associated with the domain, and continue to track its presence on emerging blocklists. Ongoing observation is advised to capture any future changes in hosting, content, or detection signatures.

## 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.
