Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/92 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      34.42.100.71 (US, Council Bluffs)
ASN:             AS396982 Google LLC

## 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: 2026-05-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-15 00:08:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:58:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain microssoft.live has been identified as a generic phishing site, posing a threat to users by potentially impersonating Microsoft. This domain does not appear to be utilizing a specific crypto drainer kit but still poses a significant risk due to its nature. It is designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information.

 
The domain microssoft.live has a VirusTotal score of 1/95, indicating that only one out of 95 security vendors has flagged it as malicious. It was registered through Unstoppable Domains Inc and resolves to the IP address 34.42.100.71. The domain was created on May 14, 2026, and as of the last update, it appears on 3 security blocklists, further solidifying its malicious intent. Given these technical indicators, the risk level associated with microssoft.live is considered elevated.

 
Currently, microssoft.live is offline, which suggests that response actions have been taken to mitigate its threat. However, the fact that it was able to be registered and operational, even if briefly, indicates that there are still vulnerabilities that can be exploited by similar phishing campaigns. Users are advised to remain vigilant and verify the authenticity of websites, especially those that ask for sensitive information, through services like PhishDestroy to ensure their safety and security online.

## 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.
