No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 13:43:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 02:24:05 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 13:44:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ssl.bing Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis performed on 28 July 2026 identifies the domain ssl.bing as an active generic phishing infrastructure. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar frequently associated with legitimate enterprise branding, which does not preclude malicious use. DNS records list four authoritative name servers: ns1-09.azure-dns.com, ns2-09.azure-dns.net, ns3-09.azure-dns.org, and a partially reported ns4-09 entry, indicating reliance on Microsoft Azure DNS services. The domain appears on a single external security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming its recognition by at least one threat‑sharing platform. VirusTotal analysis shows that the domain was submitted to 91 scanning engines; none reported a detection at the time of the scan. The absence of a detection flag should not be interpreted as evidence of benign behavior, especially given the active phishing classification. HTTP probing returns a 301 redirect response, suggesting that the site may be forwarding requests to a secondary location or employing a URL shortener as part of its delivery chain. Current intelligence does not provide details on the hosting IP address, SSL certificate characteristics, or any observed page title, limiting the ability to correlate the domain with known phishing kits or associated victim targeting. Consequently, the precise payload or credential‑collection mechanism remains unknown. Defenders should continue to monitor ssl.bing across DNS and network telemetry. Blocking at the DNS resolver level, as well as enforcing the blocklist entry from PhishDestroy, is recommended. Additional scrutiny of outbound connections that resolve to the Azure DNS name servers listed above may help uncover subsequent redirects or payload delivery points. Periodic re‑scanning with VirusTotal or similar multi‑engine services is advised to capture any future detections that could arise from updated scanning heuristics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6518b5cda46d825d26a3d988aeaa6403b685f15cf1dfed771f0b523950770697 ## 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/ssl.bing/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ssl.bing 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.
