================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-21 03:26:17 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/node.authfxconnector.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      6/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Kaspersky, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      15.197.130.221 (US, Seattle)
ASN:             ASAS16509 AMAZON-02, US
Hosting org:     AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      authfxconnector.com

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R11
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:24:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-02-26 23:24:44 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-21 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-22 00:27:03 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 15:45:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies node.authfxconnector.com as a medium-risk phishing domain that was taken offline after being flagged by multiple security vendors and appearing on two blocklists. Domains like this pose a danger because they mimic legitimate websites to steal sensitive data such as login credentials, financial information, or personal details from unsuspecting users.

This phishing domain operated by tricking users into believing they were interacting with a trustworthy service, potentially through fake login portals or authentication requests. Attackers often exploit such domains to capture information that can lead to identity theft, unauthorized account access, or financial fraud.

If you visited node.authfxconnector.com, users should immediately avoid entering any personal or financial information. It is advisable to run a complete security scan on your devices, change passwords for accounts that may have been exposed, and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Staying informed and cautious helps prevent falling victim to these deceptive schemes.

## 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.
