Nameservers: ["ns1-07.azure-dns.com", "ns2-07.azure-dns.net", "ns3-07.azure-dns.org", "ns4-07.azure-dns.info"] Page title: Microsoft Azure HTTP response: 301 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Microsoft Corporation / Microsoft TLS G2 RSA CA OCSP 04 Expires: 2026-10-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6518b5cda46d825d26a3d988aeaa6403b685f15cf1dfed771f0b523950770697 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - 365.microsoft - about.microsoft - account.microsoft - api.bing - apps.windows - azure.microsoft - azuresre.ai - band.microsoft - bing.microsoft - bingrewards.com - breakingintosecuritypodcast.com - business.skype - c.bing - call.skype - cloud.microsoft ... +182 more ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 22:13:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:20:20 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 22:14:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] portal.azure Phishing Site — Safety Check Analysis of portal.azure indicates that the domain is presently active and returns an HTTP 301 redirect response. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc. and resolves to the Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure, as reflected by the four authoritative name servers ns1-07.azure-dns.com, ns2-07.azure-dns.net, ns3-07.azure-dns.org, and ns4-07. A single security blocklist currently lists the domain, and the PhishDestroy service has applied a block to it. VirusTotal has processed the domain with 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors; none of the engines reported a detection at the time of the scan, but the absence of a flag does not constitute a safety assurance. The threat classification supplied is generic phishing, and the risk level remains under investigation, reflecting limited public intelligence beyond the observed infrastructure and blocklist presence. Defenders should treat portal.azure as a potential phishing vector until further forensic evidence is obtained. Monitoring of DNS queries for the listed Azure name servers and correlation with outbound traffic to the domain can reveal possible compromise attempts. Given the presence on a blocklist and the active redirect, implementing a block at the network perimeter, as performed by PhishDestroy, is advisable. Continuous re‑scanning with VirusTotal or similar URL‑reputation services is recommended to capture any future malicious payloads that may be introduced. Analysts should also watch for any newly reported detections from additional vendors and update mitigation policies accordingly. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/portal.azure/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=portal.azure 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.
