# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sym.airdrpsalert.locker ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 21:02:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sym.airdrpsalert.locker/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: gmail (and: google) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.253.63.106 (US, Leesburg) ASN: ASAS15169 GOOGLE, US Hosting org: AS15169 Google LLC Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: brenna.ns.cloudflare.com, hassan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-10-26 Expires: 2026-10-26 Page title: Google HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-10-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-10-31 15:47:03 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 22:59:48 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a3af3-1808-73be-a62a-0402f1e958a6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sym.airdrpsalert.locker crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sym.airdrpsalert.locker Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sym.airdrpsalert.locker AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sym.airdrpsalert.locker URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sym.airdrpsalert.locker/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:15:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified sym.airdrpsalert.locker as a medium-risk generic phishing domain impersonating Google. The domain was created recently on October 26, 2025, and is associated with attempts to deceive users by presenting fake Google login or alert pages. The domain is registered through Dynadot LLC and resolves to the IP address 172.253.63.106. It was flagged on three distinct security blocklists and detected by 9 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors for malicious activity. These indicators suggest coordinated abuse intended to harvest user credentials or deliver harmful payloads. Currently, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk to internet users. However, vigilance is advised as threat actors often reuse similar infrastructure. Users and organizations are recommended to maintain updated security solutions, avoid interacting with unsolicited links from this domain, and report any suspicious activity to cybersecurity authorities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: e8972ce34a4545b33c3926a20c306b71 ## 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/sym.airdrpsalert.locker/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sym.airdrpsalert.locker 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.
