Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] readingprogress.int.microsoft.com used in phishing campaign Analysis of the domain readingprogress.int.microsoft.com, observed on July 27 2026, indicates it is currently active and associated with a generic phishing threat. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate Microsoft services, which may aid the attacker in lending credibility to the malicious infrastructure. DNS configuration shows four Azure‑hosted nameservers – ns1-39.azure-dns.com, ns2-39.azure-dns.net, ns3-39.azure-dns.org, and ns4-39 (partial) – suggesting the domain is hosted on Microsoft Azure DNS. An HTTP request to the domain returns a 301 permanent redirect, but the target URL has not been disclosed, leaving the final landing page unknown. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is specifically flagged by PhishDestroy, confirming that at least one trusted feed has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal reports that the domain was scanned by 91 anti‑malware vendors, none of which raised a detection; this absence of alerts is not evidence of safety, merely an indication that the payload or page content has not yet triggered signatures. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing entries, Open Threat Exchange references, IP address, SSL certificate details, or page title is available. Consequently, defenders should treat the domain as hostile: block the domain at network perimeter and DNS resolvers, monitor for any traffic to the Azure nameservers, and consider adding the domain to internal blocklists. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further analysis of the redirect target could reveal additional malicious infrastructure or compromised credentials. ## 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/readingprogress.int.microsoft.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=readingprogress.int.microsoft.com 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.
