No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 13:23:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:51:15 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 13:24:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is home.hotmail a Microsoft Account Phishing Site? Analysis of the domain home.hotmail indicates it is under investigation as a potential phishing site targeting Microsoft account credentials. Registered through MarkMonitor Inc., the domain is configured with Azure DNS nameservers (ns1-01.azure-dns.com, ns2-01.azure-dns.net, ns3-01.azure-dns.org, ns4-01.azure-dns.org), suggesting an attempt to mimic legitimate Microsoft infrastructure. As of July 26, 2026, the domain remains active and returns an HTTP 301 redirect status, a common technique used in phishing campaigns to forward victims to malicious landing pages. The domain appears on one security blocklist, having been flagged by PhishDestroy, though no additional public threat intelligence sources currently confirm its malicious status. A VirusTotal scan conducted by 91 vendors returned no detections, though this absence does not confirm safety, as phishing domains often evade initial detection. The domain's registration with MarkMonitor, a registrar frequently used for both legitimate and malicious domains, provides no definitive indication of intent. Defenders should treat home.hotmail as suspicious based on its naming convention, DNS configuration, and blocklist presence. Network-level blocking or monitoring of connections to this domain is recommended until further analysis confirms its legitimacy or malicious purpose. The exact content of the site remains unanalyzed, and no specific phishing kit or brand impersonation beyond the Microsoft-related domain name has been verified. Organizations are advised to correlate this domain with internal logs to identify potential exposure or compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6518b5cda46d825d26a3d988aeaa6403b685f15cf1dfed771f0b523950770697 ## 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/home.hotmail/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=home.hotmail 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.
