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: 2026-09-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6c5cb3fd679dd66e24b52b1c87ee180e755d03e7135f918301b93e65e144c96c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - s3-ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com - s3-control.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com - s3-control.dualstack.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com - s3-deprecated.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com - s3.dualstack.ap-northeast-2.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 04:03:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 16:20:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 04:06:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com Used for Phishing On July 28, 2026 the subdomain s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com was identified as an active phishing infrastructure. The host returns an HTTP 307 status, indicating a temporary redirect to a downstream URL that has not been publicly disclosed. Nameserver records list ns-1321.awsdns-37.org, ns-1670.awsdns-16.co.uk, and ns-27.awsdns-03.com, which are standard Amazon Route 53 resolvers. Registration details show the domain was created through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar frequently used by legitimate organizations, suggesting the possibility of compromised or rented AWS resources rather than a newly registered malicious domain. VirusTotal analysis reports that the host was scanned by 91 antivirus engines, none of which flagged it at the time of the scan; this absence of detections is not evidence of benign intent. The domain is presently listed on one security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that at least one security vendor has observed malicious use. No SSL/TLS fingerprint, page title, or explicit brand targeting information is available, leaving the exact phishing lure and target ambiguous. Defenders should treat any connections to this endpoint as suspicious. Recommended mitigations include adding the domain to DNS or proxy blocklists, monitoring for follow‑on redirects, and inspecting any retrieved content for credential‑stealing forms. Because the infrastructure relies on Amazon S3 services, security teams may also query AWS‑specific threat feeds and verify that associated S3 buckets do not expose sensitive objects. Ongoing observation is advised, as the threat actor’s campaign may evolve or expand to additional AWS resources. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6c5cb3fd679dd66e24b52b1c87ee180e755d03e7135f918301b93e65e144c96c ## 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.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=s3.ap-northeast-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.
