# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-15 02:12:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Netcraft, Seclookup, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2606:4700:311b::6812:362d (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare R2 Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Page title: Microsoft Sign-in Redirect HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-10-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: aa28eb1b47e6bd08ed82d44b2ae3d705d73f1f6fb7cd3e18a03423e353d4ca6a ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-10 14:22:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-15 01:24:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4bfa-4429-74c9-aca4-ce0b508bb5d6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 14:26:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev is confirmed as an active credential theft phishing site. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest login credentials, likely targeting cloud storage or developer accounts given the subdomain structure and hosting provider. The domain remains operational as of the latest verification, posing an immediate risk to users who may encounter it through malicious links in emails, compromised websites, or social engineering campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is flagged by 16 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with detections spanning phishing, malware distribution, and fraudulent activity. It appears on four blocklists: PhishingArmy, PhishingDB, OISD, and BLP-Malware. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.18.54.45, a Cloudflare proxy endpoint, which obscures the true origin of the malicious infrastructure. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing pages. Historical data indicates the domain was registered recently, though the exact creation date is not publicly disclosed due to the privacy protections of the .r2.dev namespace. Current status confirms the domain is still active and serving malicious content. Organizations and users are advised to implement immediate blocking measures at the DNS and network layers for pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev and its resolving IP 104.18.54.45. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to recognize the domain as a credential theft resource. Security teams should monitor for indicators of compromise, including unexpected authentication attempts or anomalous login activity from internal networks. Users who may have interacted with the domain should reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window and enable multi-factor authentication where available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c105da23200667081f91b7c476f1bde9 TLS cert SHA-256: aa28eb1b47e6bd08ed82d44b2ae3d705d73f1f6fb7cd3e18a03423e353d4ca6a ## 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/pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pub-a05052f21b2c4d8da177bc97c77fa992.r2.dev 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.
