# PhishDestroy threat dossier — microsoft-office-setup.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-19 17:58:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/microsoft-office-setup.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 46.202.141.237 Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: pdns07.domaincontrol.com, pdns08.domaincontrol.com Registered: 2026-06-16 Expires: 2027-06-15 Page title: Microsoft Office Setup ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c03cfa2b28fb226e89482ae724d67a7213cb4380c83043e07f9ccec03ac99894 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.microsoft-office-setup.com ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 09:07:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:27:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-19 12:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:32:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecf3f-baf2-7191-873c-6ebac781da1e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d298e3d5-2352-4e00-91c5-f4c0ebd8994c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/microsoft-office-setup.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.microsoft-office-setup.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=microsoft-office-setup.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/microsoft-office-setup.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/microsoft-office-setup.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies microsoft-office-setup.com as a domain involved in brand impersonation, specifically targeting Microsoft, with no drainer kit indicated. This domain was flagged due to its technical indicators, including a VT score of 9/95, registration through GoDaddy.com, LLC, resolution to IP 46.202.141.237, creation date of June 16, 2026, and presence on 3 security blocklists, with a current SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The domain microsoft-office-setup.com, which appears to have been taken offline, still presents an elevated risk due to its recent creation and the fact that it has been identified in 2 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, indicating its potential for malicious activity, thus users should remain cautious and avoid interacting with this domain to minimize potential harm. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-27F3CF Favicon MD5: 71cd88a918900e7b51136eb82a58d567 TLS cert SHA-256: c03cfa2b28fb226e89482ae724d67a7213cb4380c83043e07f9ccec03ac99894 ## 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/microsoft-office-setup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=microsoft-office-setup.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.
