Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] microsoftoffice.help Brand Impersonation — Active Threat The domain microsoftoffice.help is currently classified as a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Microsoft. It was registered on April 13 2026 through CSC Corporate Domains Inc. and remains active as of the July 12 2026 report. The site presents a login‑styled page whose title mirrors official branding, aiming to harvest credentials from unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 20.231.239.246, hosted in the United States on the Microsoft Azure eastus cloud region. Authoritative name servers are ns1-07.azure-dns.com, ns2-07.azure-dns.net, ns3-07.azure-dns.org, and ns4-07.azure-dns.com, all typical of Azure DNS. An HTTP 301 redirect is observed, and the TLS certificate presented is issued to Microsoft Corporation by the Microsoft TLS G2 RSA CA OCSP 16, further reinforcing the visual authenticity of the site. Threat intelligence indicates the domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service. It appears in one AlienVault OTX pulse, while VirusTotal reports zero detections out of 95 scanners, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of 100. The lack of detections does not imply safety; the low trust score and blocklist presence suggest malicious intent despite the current absence of antivirus alerts. Defenders should add microsoftoffice.help to deny‑list rules at network and email gateways, and monitor DNS queries for the associated Azure name servers. Given the active SSL certificate and legitimate‑looking page title, user awareness training should emphasize verification of URL spelling and the presence of unexpected login prompts. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the threat may evolve or gain broader detection coverage. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: c3311de8fc46443931bc776443b7a9564e21b0216e95726952b7c6b5ce1a975b ## 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/microsoftoffice.help/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=microsoftoffice.help 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.
