home.windows Safety Check — Phishing Detected

This domain, home.windows, is currently flagged as a generic phishing site and remains active as of the report date, July 26 2026. VirusTotal records indicate that the domain has been submitted to the service and examined by 91 distinct antivirus and scanning engines; none of those engines reported a detection at the time of analysis. The HTTP response observed for the domain is a 301 redirect, which suggests that the server is intentionally forwarding requests to another location, a behavior commonly exploited in credential‑harvesting campaigns. The domain is listed on one external security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, confirming that at least one third‑party provider has identified it as malicious.

Infrastructure details show that the authoritative name servers are ns1-03.azure-dns.com, ns2-03.azure-dns.net, ns3-03.azure-dns.org, and ns4-03 (truncated), all of which belong to the Azure DNS hosting platform. Registration data reveals that the domain was registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar often used for legitimate enterprises, but no further ownership information is disclosed. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing alerts, OTX references, SSL certificate details, or page title information is available in the current dataset.

Because the domain continues to resolve and the redirect response is active, network defenders should treat any traffic to home.windows as potentially malicious. Recommended mitigations include adding the domain to local deny lists, enforcing outbound DNS filtering, and monitoring for any attempts to contact the domain from internal hosts. Ongoing observation is advised to capture any future changes in detection status, blocklist presence, or hosting configuration.

## 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.
