# PhishDestroy threat dossier — microsoft-login.praetoria.fr ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 21:26:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/microsoft-login.praetoria.fr/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 20/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 217.182.69.217 (FR, Strasbourg) ASN: ASAS16276 OVH OVH SAS, FR Hosting org: AS16276 OVH SAS Registrar: OVH Nameservers: dns20.ovh.net, ns20.ovh.net Registered: 2025-02-26 Expires: 2027-02-26 Page title: Page de Connexion HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 37fc4f55fa9ea31358bc62c9ce52ff60627b70c88f3f556b06c55eae80e6d242 ## 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: 2025-02-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 02:10:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:27:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 06:20:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed2ea-4874-7599-b495-141f4e41a33b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2601103b-069f-4079-b307-220d22a79758 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/microsoft-login.praetoria.fr crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.microsoft-login.praetoria.fr Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=microsoft-login.praetoria.fr AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/microsoft-login.praetoria.fr URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/microsoft-login.praetoria.fr/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:08:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, microsoft-login.praetoria.fr, poses a high-risk brand impersonation threat designed to deceive users into believing they are accessing a legitimate Microsoft login page. The site mimics Microsoft’s authentication portal, potentially harvesting credentials, personal data, or other sensitive information from unsuspecting visitors. Such impersonation attacks are commonly used to facilitate account takeovers, unauthorized access to corporate or personal systems, and subsequent fraudulent activities, including data exfiltration or financial theft. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on February 26, 2025, through OVH, a known registrar frequently utilized for malicious infrastructure. At the time of detection, 20 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, confirming its association with phishing campaigns. Additional indicators include its SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (YE1), resolution to the IP address 217.182.69.217 (hosted on AS16276 OVH SAS in France), and its presence on three security blocklists. The page title, 'Page de Connexion,' further suggests an attempt to impersonate a Microsoft login interface, likely targeting French-speaking users. If you or a user within your organization visited microsoft-login.praetoria.fr, immediate action is required. First, reset any credentials entered on the site, prioritizing accounts with elevated privileges or access to sensitive systems. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all affected accounts to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access. Review recent account activity for signs of compromise, such as unfamiliar logins, password changes, or unauthorized transactions. If the device used to access the domain is corporate-owned, isolate it from the network and conduct a forensic analysis to detect potential malware or persistence mechanisms. Report the incident to your security team or relevant authorities to aid in tracking and mitigating the threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-C6FA62 Favicon MD5: fafaaae1a9f39c6d85756bb6f281a6a1 TLS cert SHA-256: 37fc4f55fa9ea31358bc62c9ce52ff60627b70c88f3f556b06c55eae80e6d242 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/microsoft-login.praetoria.fr/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=microsoft-login.praetoria.fr 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
