Hosting org: AWS S3 (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 M01 Expires: 2027-01-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e43f9a0c6fc12bbc0accc780694bbd0abd8171598e18ea5caebf43aa7f2fb4d1 ## 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 04:03:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:56:22 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 04:06:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] s3-external-3.amazonaws.com: Confirmed Phishing Host The domain s3-external-3.amazonaws.com was observed delivering malicious content on July 28 2026 and is currently classified as a generic phishing host. Registration data shows the domain is managed through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by legitimate enterprises, which does not itself indicate malicious intent. The authoritative name servers are ns-1321.awsdns-37.org, ns-1670.awsdns-16.co.uk, ns-27.awsdns-03.com, and additional AWS DNS entries not fully listed, confirming that the domain resides on Amazon Web Services infrastructure. HTTP requests to the host return a 307 Temporary Redirect response, a pattern frequently employed to funnel victims to credential‑harvesting pages while obscuring the final destination. The domain appears on one public security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, demonstrating that at least one community‑driven source has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal records indicate the host has been scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines, none of which raised a detection at the time of analysis; this absence of alerts should not be interpreted as confirmation of safety, as many phishing URLs evade signature‑based checks. No public SSL certificate details, IP address, or page title have been disclosed, leaving the exact landing page and targeted brand unknown. Consequently, the primary evidence consists of its inclusion on a blocklist, the redirect behavior, and the association with a known phishing feed. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter devices, add it to internal URL filtering lists, and monitor for any new DNS resolutions or traffic patterns that reference the same AWS name servers. Ongoing observation of the host’s redirect chain and periodic rescanning with threat‑intel platforms are recommended to detect any evolution of the payload or emergence of detections. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: e43f9a0c6fc12bbc0accc780694bbd0abd8171598e18ea5caebf43aa7f2fb4d1 ## 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-external-3.amazonaws.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=s3-external-3.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.
