# PhishDestroy threat dossier — microsoftword.programgridsoft.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 16:24:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/microsoftword.programgridsoft.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 20/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.40.155.13 (RU, St Petersburg) ASN: AS21030 Cluster LLC Hosting org: Docker LTD Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-03-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 14:50:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 18:20:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3779-d27a-755c-a652-0aeb65c293c8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/microsoftword.programgridsoft.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.microsoftword.programgridsoft.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=microsoftword.programgridsoft.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/microsoftword.programgridsoft.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/microsoftword.programgridsoft.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 14:56:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain microsoftword.programgridsoft.com is identified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Microsoft. It leverages the recognizable brand of Microsoft Word to potentially deceive users into providing personal information. No specific drainer kit has been mentioned, but the fraudulent nature of the domain is evident from its content and purpose. Technical indicators of this domain include a VirusTotal score of 20/95, indicating that 20 out of 95 security vendors have flagged it as malicious. The domain is registered through NameSilo, LLC and resolves to the IP address 185.40.155.13. It was created on March 13, 2026, and is currently active with no indication of being taken down. The domain is also noted to have been issued an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt, which could lend it a false sense of legitimacy. As of now, microsoftword.programgridsoft.com remains active, and response actions should include ongoing monitoring and blocking of the domain in network defenses to mitigate risks. The presence of 20 flags on VirusTotal indicates significant concern among security vendors, warranting immediate awareness and protection measures against potential exploitation by users. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 20/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: cc985f11408e5e5459e095dc0b46ac565d5b5315c866ed26a5e9299bb4e277ab ## 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/microsoftword.programgridsoft.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=microsoftword.programgridsoft.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.
