No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 01:23:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-30 04:20:22 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 01:24:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] register.secure.microsoft.com — Credential Phishing Investigation On July 27, 2026 an investigation was opened for the domain register.secure.microsoft.com, which is currently classified as a credential phishing site and remains active. The domain is hosted on Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure, as indicated by its four authoritative nameservers: ns1-39.azure-dns.com, ns2-39.azure-dns.net, ns3-39.azure-dns.org, and ns4-39. Registration was performed through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate corporate assets, suggesting that the registration process may have leveraged a compromised or authorized account. HTTP requests to the domain return a 301 redirect, indicating that the site is configured to forward visitors to another location, a technique often used to obscure the final phishing payload. The domain has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service and appears on a single external security blocklist, providing early evidence of malicious use. VirusTotal reports that the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines, none of which generated a detection at the time of scanning; however, the absence of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee. No additional intelligence such as page titles, SSL certificate details, or hosting IP address is available, leaving the exact content and downstream infrastructure unverified. Defenders should treat register.secure.microsoft.com as hostile: block the domain at network perimeter and DNS resolvers, monitor for any new redirects or associated IP addresses, and continue to observe threat‑intel feeds for updates. Given the registrar and DNS provider, any future changes to registration details should be scrutinized for potential abuse of legitimate corporate credentials. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: cde181ac7c588c2877fa9be102a19595740e0a3e3903b3781d117a6e124b0f97 ## 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/register.secure.microsoft.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=register.secure.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.
