Hosting org: AWS EC2 (eu-west-1) Registrar: MarkMonitor Inc. Nameservers: ["ns-1321.awsdns-37.org", "ns-1670.awsdns-16.co.uk", "ns-27.awsdns-03.com", "ns-967.awsdns-56.net"] Page title: Cloud Object Storage – Amazon S3 – Amazon Web Services HTTP response: 307 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Amazon / Amazon RSA 2048 M04 Expires: 2026-11-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c50eb83f833b91929a4bdbbdb3680b8c7a88836963bdda8153682f31449d542e Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - s3-control.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com - s3-control.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com - s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com - s3-external-3.amazonaws.com - s3.amazonaws.com - s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com - s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 04:13:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:20:20 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 04:17:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] s3-deprecated.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com generic phishing Analysis of s3-deprecated.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com, flagged on July 28, 2026, shows infrastructure consistent with a generic phishing campaign. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 3.5.68.25 and responds with an HTTP 307 redirect, a pattern often leveraged to forward victims to malicious payloads while obscuring the original host. DNS resolution is served by a set of AWS name servers (ns-1321.awsdns-37.org, ns-1670.awsdns-16.co.uk, ns-27.awsdns-03.com, …), indicating the domain is hosted within Amazon’s DNS infrastructure. Registration was performed through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate brand protection, which can be employed by threat actors to lend credibility to malicious sites. The page title returned by the server is "Cloud Object Storage – Amazon S3 – Amazon Web Services", matching the standard AWS console description and offering no direct indication of malicious intent beyond the deceptive use of a trusted service name. The domain is currently listed as active, has been blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, and appears on a single security blocklist, confirming that at least one defensive platform has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal has recorded a scan by 91 anti‑malware vendors with no detections reported; however, the absence of detections does not confirm safety, especially given the domain’s presence on blocklists and its redirection behavior. Uncertainty remains regarding the final landing page after the 307 redirect, the specific credential‑stealing tactics employed, and whether additional infrastructure (such as command‑and‑control servers) is linked to the same IP range. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor DNS queries for the listed name servers, and treat any traffic to the resolved IP as suspicious. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: c50eb83f833b91929a4bdbbdb3680b8c7a88836963bdda8153682f31449d542e ## 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/s3-deprecated.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=s3-deprecated.eu-west-1.amazonaws.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.
