org.microsoft Safety Check — Credential Phishing Detected

This domain, org.microsoft, is under investigation for credential phishing activity as of July 27, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc. and utilizes Azure DNS nameservers (ns1-04.azure-dns.com, ns2-04.azure-dns.net, ns3-04.azure-dns.org, ns4-04.azure-dns.org). The domain currently returns an HTTP 301 redirect status, indicating it is actively resolving and redirecting traffic, though the destination remains unconfirmed. It appears on one security blocklist and is blocked by PhishDestroy, suggesting prior detection by at least one commercial anti-phishing service.

VirusTotal scans conducted by 91 vendors returned no detections at the time of analysis; however, the absence of detections does not confirm legitimacy, as phishing domains often evade initial scans. The domain's registration details and DNS configuration align with legitimate Microsoft infrastructure, which may increase its effectiveness as a phishing lure. No specific brand impersonation or scam type has been confirmed in available data, and the exact content of the site remains unanalyzed. Defenders are advised to treat org.microsoft as a high-risk domain pending further analysis.

Network-level blocking is recommended, particularly in environments where Microsoft credentials are used. Organizations should monitor for connections to this domain in proxy and DNS logs, and correlate with authentication attempts or suspicious user activity. If internal alerts indicate users accessed this domain, initiate credential reset procedures for affected accounts and review logs for signs of compromise. Further investigation into redirect chains and hosting infrastructure is ongoing.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      6518b5cda46d825d26a3d988aeaa6403b685f15cf1dfed771f0b523950770697

## 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.
