# PhishDestroy threat dossier — rnicrosoft-auth.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-27 20:53:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/rnicrosoft-auth.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 21/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Phishing Database, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 15 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 116.203.147.75 (DE, Nürnberg) ASN: ASAS24940 HETZNER-AS Hetzner Online GmbH, DE Hosting org: AS24940 Hetzner Online GmbH Registrar: Wild West Domains, LLC Nameservers: ns51.domaincontrol.com, ns52.domaincontrol.com Registered: 2025-11-24 Page title: ThriveDX — Page not found HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-02-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ff15a960035c81e0f8517e64094285a109f54baceae9df736758fc2571b7e507 ## 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: 2025-11-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-08 00:32:12 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-27 20:21:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:25:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019afb5f-070e-723d-921b-dc2ddc78b24b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rnicrosoft-auth.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rnicrosoft-auth.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rnicrosoft-auth.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rnicrosoft-auth.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rnicrosoft-auth.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:26:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] rnicrosoft-auth.com Microsoft Login Phish Alert The domain rnicrosoft-auth.com is identified as a generic phishing infrastructure designed to impersonate Microsoft authentication services. The observed behavior indicates credential harvesting attempts through fake login pages intended to capture user credentials and session data. The site is currently offline, but historical indicators confirm malicious intent and prior deployment of phishing content. Analysis shows the domain was flagged by 21 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating strong cross-engine detection consensus. It was created on November 24, 2025 and registered through Wild West Domains, LLC. The infrastructure resolves to IP address 116.203.147.75 and is hosted in Germany under AS24940 Hetzner Online GmbH. Additional intelligence includes Google Safe Browsing classification as phishing, appearance on 2 security blocklists, SSL certificate issued via Let's Encrypt R13, and active blocking by PhishDestroy and PhishingDB. The page title observed during analysis was “ThriveDX — Page not found,” suggesting either decoy content or a removed phishing landing page. Although the domain is currently taken offline, the combination of high detection coverage (21/95), recent registration date (November 24, 2025), and use of reputable hosting infrastructure indicates a professionally operated phishing setup with potential for rapid redeployment. Users who may have interacted with this domain should assume credential compromise risk, particularly for Microsoft accounts, and should immediately reset passwords and enable multi-factor authentication. Security teams are advised to block IP 116.203.147.75, monitor Wild West Domains registrations for similar spoofed naming patterns, and track TLS certificate reuse under Let's Encrypt R13. Continued vigilance is required due to the likelihood of cloned infrastructure reactivation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a98ffaf4c8398891fa83ca7e79ff6dd2 TLS cert SHA-256: ff15a960035c81e0f8517e64094285a109f54baceae9df736758fc2571b7e507 ## 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/rnicrosoft-auth.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rnicrosoft-auth.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.
