# PhishDestroy threat dossier — workspacegatewayhub.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-15 20:28:48 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/workspacegatewayhub.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 23.227.203.242 (US, Tampa) Hosting org: AS29802 HIVELOCITY, Inc. Registrar: Squarespace Domains LLC Nameservers: nsa1.squarespacedns.com, nsa2.squarespacedns.com, nsa3.squarespacedns.com, nsa4.squarespacedns.com Registered: 2026-06-10 Expires: 2027-06-10 HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: af92f17f329e2461f31ff37b14223c1f6a36b41777b1a50d3e938fad0aad09ee ## 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: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 14:20:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 20:23:39 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-15 20:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:10:58 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed05e-7eb9-7593-a835-b4e5cceee95a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/1373a6b3-fbc3-4b44-aaf4-7a249ce7d2f5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/workspacegatewayhub.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.workspacegatewayhub.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=workspacegatewayhub.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/workspacegatewayhub.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/workspacegatewayhub.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:42:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a generic phishing site designed to harvest Microsoft 365 credentials through a fake login portal. Analysis indicates an elevated risk level due to its infrastructure and detection history, though it is currently offline. The threat type aligns with credential theft, a common tactic for gaining unauthorized access to corporate or personal accounts. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain workspacegatewayhub.com was registered on June 10, 2026, through Squarespace Domains LLC. It resolves to the IP address 23.227.203.242 and is detected by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is assigned a trust score of 0/100 by Gridinsoft. Technologies detected include Nginx and HSTS, which may have been employed to lend an appearance of legitimacy or to evade basic security checks. To mitigate risks associated with this phishing domain, organizations should implement the following measures: block the domain and its resolving IP (23.227.203.242) at the firewall and DNS levels. Deploy email filtering rules to quarantine messages containing links to workspacegatewayhub.com or similar domains. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts to reduce the impact of credential theft. Conduct user awareness training to educate employees on identifying phishing attempts, particularly those impersonating Microsoft 365 login pages. Monitor network logs for connections to the domain or IP address and investigate any suspicious activity. Given the domain's creation date anomaly (2026), verify system clocks and ensure security tools account for potential timestamp manipulation in threat feeds. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 15/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-103466 TLS cert SHA-256: af92f17f329e2461f31ff37b14223c1f6a36b41777b1a50d3e938fad0aad09ee ## 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/workspacegatewayhub.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=workspacegatewayhub.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.
