Registrar contextNameSilo
Stored registration data identifies NameSilo as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate registrar investigations; that broader material is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
baosteel.click was an impersonation phishing site built around the name of Baosteel, the Chinese steelmaker. It presented itself as a Secure Document Viewer, the kind of page sent to employees, suppliers and trading partners under the pretext of a shared file. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-29. It went offline the next day, 2026-09-30, and its DNS was still inactive at the last check on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Document-viewer lures usually arrive as an email that looks like a routine business message, such as an invoice, purchase order or contract supposedly sent by Baosteel. The link opens a page promising a protected file. Before the file appears, the page asks the visitor to sign in with their email or corporate account. Whatever is typed goes straight to the operators. Stolen mailbox access is commonly used to read correspondence, send convincing follow-up fraud such as fake payment-detail changes to the victim's contacts, and reach other accounts tied to the same password.
Evidence
Twelve of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain on 2026-09-29. The flagging vendors included BitDefender, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Emsisoft, G-Data, CRDF, alphaMountain.ai and Google Safe Browsing. Google Safe Browsing classifies it as social engineering, and Spamhaus lists it in its DBL as a phishing domain. Three AlienVault OTX threat pulses reference it, which shows researchers outside PhishDestroy tracked the same infrastructure.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on 2026-02-23, about seven months before it surfaced as a phishing page. That gap suggests a domain that was held in reserve and activated later for a campaign. It was hosted in Germany on the Datacamp Limited network. It used a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so a padlock icon in the browser said nothing about whether the site was legitimate.
What to do
If you opened a Baosteel-themed document link and entered a password, change that password at once, along with any other account that reuses it. Turn on two-factor authentication and sign out all active sessions. Check your mailbox for forwarding rules or filters you did not create. Warn your contacts and finance team, and confirm any payment-instruction change by phone with a number you already know. Defenders should block the domain, search mail logs for messages linking to it, and reset credentials for any user who clicked through.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
