Latest classified outcome: unknown; cause probe inconclusive on Oct 6, 2026 at 03:41 UTC. Registration records for the registrable domain updata.net.cn list GoDaddy.com,LLC as the registrar and Jun 25, 2025 as the creation date. At collection time, the hostname resolved to 188.114.97.3 on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.). The IP and ASN identify shared Cloudflare edge infrastructure; the origin server is not established by this address. DOM analysis on Oct 6, 2026 at 06:20 UTC returned 40/100. The evidence archive retains 3 visual captures from PhishDestroy and URLScan; the captures preserve the landing-page appearance.

The content indicators and 3 positive source findings support the current Microsoft impersonation and phishing classification. The target field identifies Microsoft.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
