# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ms-live.biz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 12:47:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ms-live.biz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 72.251.11.93 (US, Los Angeles) ASN: ASAS16276 OVH OVH SAS, FR Hosting org: AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2026-07-06 Expires: 2027-07-06 Page title: ms-live.biz is registered at Namecheap HTTP response: 302 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-07-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-07 13:42:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 04:07:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3c62-3bb1-754b-80df-5bef41dee8f2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ms-live.biz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ms-live.biz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ms-live.biz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ms-live.biz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ms-live.biz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 13:44:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain ms-live.biz has been classified as a generic phishing threat and is currently active. This domain does not appear to impersonate a specific well-known brand, but its intent to engage in phishing scams raises significant security concerns for users who may inadvertently interact with it. As per the latest data, ms-live.biz has not yet been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it has yet to be identified as malicious by the majority of security vendors. The domain was created on July 06, 2026, and is registered through NAMECHEAP INC. It resolves to the IP address 192.64.119.144, which may be linked to other instances of similar malicious behavior, but specifics require further investigation. The domain's current status remains active and there are no entries noted within known blocklists, suggesting that it may still be functioning without immediate detection. In light of these findings, continuous monitoring is recommended to determine the evolving nature of this domain. Users should be educated to recognize the hallmarks of phishing attempts and advised against interacting with or providing any personal information to domains of this nature. It is also prudent for security teams to incorporate proactive measures such as DNS filtering and threat intelligence to block access to ms-live.biz to prevent potential data breaches. ## 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/ms-live.biz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ms-live.biz 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.
