Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, microsoftupdates.pro, poses a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Microsoft users by masquerading as a legitimate remote support portal. Analysis of the page title, ScreenConnect Remote Support Software, indicates an attempt to deceive users into initiating unauthorized remote access sessions. Such activity is commonly associated with technical support scams, credential harvesting, or the deployment of malicious payloads under the guise of assistance. The domain’s infrastructure is designed to exploit trust in Microsoft’s brand, potentially leading to unauthorized system control, data exfiltration, or financial fraud. Technical indicators confirm the domain’s malicious intent. VirusTotal reports 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging microsoftupdates.pro as malicious, while AlienVault OTX lists it in one threat intelligence pulse. The domain was registered on July 05, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 93.152.221.222 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site. The creation date, far in the future, suggests an attempt to evade detection or analysis by appearing as a newly registered domain. Users who have visited microsoftupdates.pro or interacted with its content should immediately terminate any active remote sessions and disconnect affected devices from networks. Scan systems using updated security tools to detect potential malware or unauthorized modifications. Reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the session, particularly those tied to Microsoft services or financial platforms. Monitor network traffic for connections to 93.152.221.222 or related domains, and report the incident to internal security teams or relevant threat intelligence platforms for further analysis. Block the domain and its associated IP at the network level to prevent additional exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d9c91e92af6776e767700c6f0c258ec0 ## 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/microsoftupdates.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=microsoftupdates.pro 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.
