Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The risk level of microsoft365alert.com is elevated due to its brand impersonation threat, which specifically targets Microsoft users. This domain was flagged by 3 security blocklists and resolves to the IP address 198.185.159.144, with a creation date of May 14, 2026, and is registered through Squarespace Domains II LLC, furthermore, 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain, and it appears in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. To mitigate this threat, users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with microsoft365alert.com, as it may attempt to trick them into revealing sensitive information or installing malware, and instead verify the authenticity of the website on PhishDestroy to ensure their safety. PhishDestroy identifies microsoft365alert.com as a potential security risk due to its recent creation and the presence of a Let's Encrypt R12 SSL certificate, which may be used to appear legitimate, thus, it is crucial for users to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities to prevent further brand impersonation threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: aa78d04664d6b65058ff847eb8d2d821 TLS cert SHA-256: 4cff6c26f859f39071ea08107cedc695661bf464ae9b79e19ec6cdef599f6c46 ## 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/microsoft365alert.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=microsoft365alert.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.
