# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sso-gateway.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 01:56:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sso-gateway.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 89.249.49.141 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS206264 Amarutu Technology Ltd Hosting org: Amarutu Technology Ltd Registrar: TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd. Nameservers: ["ns-canada.topdns.com", "ns-uk.topdns.com", "ns-usa.topdns.com"] Registered: 2026-04-26 Page title: LUMIÈRE — Beauty Studio ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-07-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 85d05fc2571ce2b1c0ede36340c186e8ced47c0494e9a8bed0e8aa76465455ef ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 16:55:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-26 13:56:26 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-28 19:40:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 04:10:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dca11-3ed9-752a-80e6-2dff2f4b2519/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/65a3443e-fabc-4e4e-99a6-811afcaabb94 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sso-gateway.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sso-gateway.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sso-gateway.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sso-gateway.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sso-gateway.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 16:57:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies sso-gateway.com as an active credential harvesting domain masquerading as 'LUMIÈRE — Beauty Studio.' This fraudulent single sign-on (SSO) portal is designed to trick users into submitting their authentication credentials under the guise of accessing a legitimate service. The domain's page title, 'LUMIÈRE — Beauty Studio,' suggests a legitimate beauty or wellness business, but its true purpose is to harvest user login details for subsequent malicious activities, including account takeover or credential stuffing attacks. The tactics employed here are not uncommon but remain highly effective due to their deceptive simplicity and reliance on user trust in familiar-looking interfaces. This domain was flagged during routine threat monitoring, revealing several red flags that warrant immediate caution. Resolving to IP address 89.249.49.141, the domain sso-gateway.com was registered on April 26, 2626, through TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd., a registrar often associated with high-risk or newly created domains. Despite being relatively new, the domain has already evaded detection, with VirusTotal currently showing 0 detections out of 95 security vendors. Additionally, the domain utilizes a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may further lend it an air of legitimacy to unsuspecting visitors. These factors contribute to a high-risk assessment, particularly given the active status of the domain and its use in credential harvesting campaigns. Users who may have visited sso-gateway.com are advised to take immediate action to secure their accounts. If any credentials were entered into this fraudulent portal, those passwords should be changed immediately across all accounts where they were reused. Furthermore, enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts can mitigate the risk of unauthorized access even if credentials are compromised. It is also recommended to monitor accounts for suspicious activity, such as login attempts from unfamiliar locations or devices. Reporting this domain to your organization's security team or relevant authorities, such as your country's cybercrime unit, can also help disrupt ongoing malicious campaigns. Vigilance and proactive security measures remain the best defense against credential harvesting attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260426-C5F65D Favicon MD5: 3c8b6314dfa262958c16db10f4f5eecb TLS cert SHA-256: 85d05fc2571ce2b1c0ede36340c186e8ced47c0494e9a8bed0e8aa76465455ef ## 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 (volunteer 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/sso-gateway.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sso-gateway.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
