No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 10:30:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-22 12:20:36 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified helpnsupport-microsoft.com as an active brand impersonation threat targeting Microsoft. This domain attempts to deceive users into believing it is a legitimate Microsoft support portal when in fact it is part of a phishing campaign. No specific drainer kit was identified, but the domain's sole purpose is to harvest credentials or sensitive information from unsuspecting visitors. The technical indicators paint a clear picture of malicious intent. VirusTotal shows only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, which means it bypasses most automated detection. The domain was registered on June 14, 2026 through Squarespace Domains II LLC, and resolves to IP address 198.185.159.144. It currently appears on 3 security blocklists but is not listed on Google Safe Browsing. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR2), and the page title displays 'Coming Soon'—a tactic often used to buy time before launching a full phishing page. Additionally, AlienVault OTX has recorded the domain in 2 threat intelligence pulses. As of now, the domain remains active and poses a continued risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends blocking access to this domain immediately and monitoring for similar variations. Users who have interacted with this site should change their Microsoft account passwords and enable multi-factor authentication. While the domain is not yet widely recognized by security tools, the threat is real and warrants proactive defense measures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: aa78d04664d6b65058ff847eb8d2d821 TLS cert SHA-256: bcf4e89fcb3e6adfd17fa24370c786aa05c6e3a0dc76909057e219a38764d5f4 ## 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 (volunteer 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/helpnsupport-microsoft.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=helpnsupport-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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
