Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] emailnotifications.m365-microsoft.com Safety Check — Microsoft Analysis of the domain emailnotifications.m365-microsoft.com indicates active phishing infrastructure targeting Microsoft 365 users. The domain was registered on July 12, 2023, through Dynadot Inc and remains operational as of July 23, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain uses Azure DNS nameservers (ns1-36.azure-dns.com, ns2-36.azure-dns.net), a configuration that may lend superficial legitimacy but is frequently exploited for phishing campaigns. It currently resolves to the IP address 20.50.64.14, which is associated with Microsoft Azure cloud services, though this does not confirm benign intent. Security vendor scans show no current detections from the 95 engines that have previously assessed the domain, though the absence of detections does not rule out malicious activity. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist, suggesting prior identification as a potential threat. No additional context is available regarding the specific phishing kit, targeted brand impersonation beyond the domain name, or exact content hosted on the site, as the page has not been directly analyzed. Defenders should note that the domain structure closely resembles legitimate Microsoft 365 notification domains, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering. Organizations are advised to block the domain at the DNS or proxy level and monitor for connections to 20.50.64.14. If internal logs show user interactions with this domain, initiate phishing response procedures, including credential resets and endpoint scans. Given the domain's age and continued activity, further investigation into its hosting patterns and associated campaigns is warranted. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260723-26B769 Favicon MD5: 11fb4799192313dd5474a343d9cc0a17 TLS cert SHA-256: dcb2742b8cc0fde16ea57ce47614c55a88a047bc141c3e42f02378890e25be39 ## 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/emailnotifications.m365-microsoft.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=emailnotifications.m365-microsoft.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.
