No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 04:03:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:20:20 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 04:05:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] s3-deprecated.us-east-2.amazonaws.com — Phishing Investigation On July 28 2026 the domain s3-deprecated.us-east-2.amazonaws.com was observed in an active phishing investigation. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate enterprises, and it resolves to the Amazon Web Services DNS infrastructure, as indicated by its authoritative nameservers ns-1321.awsdns-37.org, ns-1670.awsdns-16.co.uk, ns-27.awsdns-03.com, among others. HTTP requests to the host receive a 307 Temporary Redirect response, a status often leveraged to forward victims to malicious payloads while preserving the original URL in browser bars. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy threat‑filtering service, confirming that at least one security vendor has classified it as hostile. VirusTotal analysis reports that 91 anti‑malware engines examined the domain and none raised a detection, but the absence of alerts does not constitute evidence of benign intent. No public Safe Browsing, OTX, SSL certificate, or page‑title information is currently available, leaving the content and target brand of the alleged phishing page unverified. Given the limited visibility, defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any new detections from additional threat‑intelligence feeds, and consider deeper inspection of redirects returned by the 307 response. Ongoing collection of host‑level artifacts and traffic patterns will be required to confirm the malicious payload and to assess any potential compromise of credential‑bearing services that may be impersonated. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 42d0e2214bc93088f597c9bd04e32c89b62a4d364987b673e961347833a12879 ## 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.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=s3-deprecated.us-east-2.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.
