These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The subdomain rgtfrh-ggg5-009.atl1.digitaloceanspaces.com matches a known phishing pattern: random alphanumeric strings hosted on DigitalOcean's object storage service. Security researchers have explicitly documented similar subdomains (regfh-kkk3--055.atl1.digitaloceanspaces.com, gtfhtrh-www4-04.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com, 45tgfrt-ggg3-o04.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com) as part of an active cloud storage renewal scam campaign. The current page displays an AWS S3 access-denied error, consistent with either a misconfigured phishing page or one that has been taken offline. The pattern of random subdomains, the hosting infrastructure abuse, and the explicit threat-researcher documentation of identical campaigns all point to credential harvesting intent. No legitimate business registration or positive reputation signals exist for this subdomain.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page renders a raw AWS S3 XML access-denied error rather than functional web content. This is consistent with either a misconfigured phishing page or one that has been removed or disabled.

Infrastructure

Hosted on DigitalOcean Spaces (atl1.digitaloceanspaces.com), a legitimate object-storage service frequently abused for phishing campaigns. The hosting IP (134.199.128.128) has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score, but this reflects the parent infrastructure, not the malicious subdomain's intent. SSL certificate is valid and issued by DigiCert, a common practice for phishing pages to appear legitimate.

Domain History

The subdomain itself is new, but the parent digitaloceanspaces.com domain is 3,398 days old (legitimate DigitalOcean infrastructure). The random alphanumeric naming pattern (rgtfrh-ggg5-009) is characteristic of phishing campaigns that generate dozens of similar subdomains to evade detection and distribute across multiple redirect chains.

Web Reputation

Security researchers have documented multiple identical random-string subdomains on the same DigitalOcean Spaces service as phishing pages targeting cloud storage renewal scams. No positive reviews, business registration, or legitimate references exist for this subdomain. The pattern is part of a 2026 active campaign documented on X (Twitter) by threat researchers.

Risk Factors
7
  • Matches documented phishing campaign pattern: random alphanumeric subdomain on DigitalOcean Spaces used for credential harvesting.
  • Multiple identical subdomains (regfh-kkk3--055, gtfhtrh-www4-04, 45tgfrt-ggg3-o04) explicitly flagged by security researchers as cloud storage renewal phishing pages.
  • Page displays access-denied error instead of functional content, consistent with misconfigured or disabled phishing infrastructure.
  • No business registration, legitimate contact information, or positive reputation signals found.
  • DigitalOcean Spaces infrastructure is widely reported as abused for tech support scams, bank phishing, and credential harvesting.
  • Cloud storage renewal emails are a known social-engineering vector designed to trick users into entering payment and login credentials on fake pages.
  • Part of redirect chains originating from compromised or spoofed Google Cloud Storage links.
Positive Signals
3
  • SSL certificate is valid and properly issued by DigiCert.
  • Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.
  • No malware or suspicious code detected by our antivirus network.
AI Recommendation
Do not enter any credentials, payment information, or personal data on this page. If you received an email claiming to be from a cloud storage provider asking you to renew your account, verify the sender's email address directly with the official company and access your account through their official website, not through email links.
