Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, kms-tools.com, is under investigation for credential theft. The website claims to offer free Windows and Office activation tools, which may be used as a lure to trick users into revealing their login credentials or other sensitive information. Such tactics are common in phishing attacks, where malicious actors create seemingly legitimate websites to harvest user data. Analysis indicates that kms-tools.com is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was created on September 01, 2025. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.211.154 and is currently protected by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Despite being listed on one security blocklist, VirusTotal shows 0/95 detections, indicating that the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. The lack of detections may suggest the domain is relatively new or has not been extensively analyzed. If users have visited kms-tools.com, they are advised to immediately change their passwords for any accounts that may have been used on the site, especially those related to Windows or Office. Additionally, users should run a comprehensive security scan on their devices to ensure no malware was installed. Reporting the site to their organization's IT security team or a trusted cybersecurity service can help in further analysis and potential mitigation of the threat. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 19/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: bdfc938584850d87244b1293df900cbc TLS cert SHA-256: 3cb605b50521be3f8424a71c3d6c054095c4ffc667925e78129cbf29cd67e2da ## 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/kms-tools.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kms-tools.com 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.
