Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - comunicazioni-sicure.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: 2026-04-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-08 15:30:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-23 07:40:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 02:14:08 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-08 15:35:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies a significant brand impersonation threat from the domain mail.comunicazioni-sicure.it, which mimics Microsoft’s official login page to steal user credentials. This fake Microsoft Account sign-in portal was created on October 5, 2023, and registered through Aruba S.p.A., a commonly abused hosting provider for phishing campaigns. The domain resolves to the IP address 54.228.102.171 and has already been flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating an elevated risk to unsuspecting users.

This threat is particularly dangerous because it leverages a convincing copy of Microsoft’s login interface, complete with a spoofed page title—'Sign in to your Microsoft Account'—to deceive victims into entering their sensitive information. The use of a valid SSL certificate from Sectigo Limited further enhances its credibility, making it harder for users to detect the deception. With such tactics, attackers aim to harvest login credentials, personal data, or financial details for use in follow-on identity theft or fraud.

If you visited mail.comunicazioni-sicure.it or entered any information, immediately change your Microsoft Account password and enable multi-factor authentication. Review your account activity for any unauthorized access and consider running a full malware scan on your device. Report the domain to Microsoft’s phishing reporting tools and your organization’s security team if applicable. Always verify website URLs and avoid clicking on unsolicited login links.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      c7dd910e4c3968c413f7ce11b71a03cadd6eae1b88ab7ba42fc971a8407980ee

## 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.
