steelgoy.run Generic Phishing Alert

The domain steelgoy.run is currently active and classified as a high‑risk generic phishing site. Registration information shows the domain was created through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar often used by legitimate enterprises, which may complicate takedown efforts. The authoritative nameservers are ns911b.microsoftinternetsafety.net and ns911a.microsoftinternetsafety.net, suggesting an attempt to leverage a Microsoft‑styled naming convention to increase perceived legitimacy. HTTP requests to the domain return a 302 status code, a common technique for redirecting victims to credential‑harvesting pages or to mask the final landing location.

The site is presently blocked by the PhishDestroy filter and appears on one external security blocklist, indicating that at least one third‑party feed has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis shows that 18 out of 91 security vendors flag the domain, providing independent corroboration of its malicious nature. No additional intelligence such as page title, SSL certificate details, IP address, hosting provider, or geographic location is available, leaving those aspects uncertain and requiring further investigation. Defenders should immediately add steelgoy.run to perimeter web filters, DNS sinkhole lists, and endpoint URL reputation controls.

Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the associated nameservers and any emerging detection signatures is advised. Organizations using Microsoft‑related services should be aware of the nameserver pattern and verify that internal traffic to these servers is not being abused. Incident response teams should treat any authentication attempts to steelgoy.run as compromised and enforce credential rotation for affected users.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      57827fa88083035e2381d11a25a7825f58138a6d1a4c8d389c6a9b841720f4bd

## 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.
