cdntestconnect.com — Brand Impersonation Investigation Report

Analysis indicates that cdntestconnect.com is actively engaged in brand impersonation targeting Microsoft. The domain is currently operational and presents a page title stating, 'This website domain has been seized by Microsoft,' which may mislead users about its legitimacy. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc. and resolves to an IP address located in the US, specifically within the Microsoft Azure Cloud infrastructure. It is notably blocked by PhishDestroy, demonstrating proactive measures against its activities. Furthermore, 23 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, highlighting significant risk factors associated with its operation. The nameservers, attributed to Microsoft Internetsafety, suggest attempts to leverage Microsoft's reputation for malicious purposes. Given the high-risk status and ongoing activity of this domain, defenders should prioritize immediate action by implementing IP blocking, monitoring for any related phishing attempts, and advising users to exercise caution regarding interaction with this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      b4b687a80c1b04fe2c82a2f6b9bb85f6e11a34adeb1e4375f2354b04df239c10

## 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.
