No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 13:43:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 04:20:26 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 13:44:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] store.windows — Active Microsoft-Themed Phishing Domain Analysis of the domain store.windows indicates an active phishing infrastructure targeting Microsoft or Windows-related services, as suggested by the domain name and current technical indicators. Registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for legitimate corporate domains, this domain exhibits characteristics that warrant further scrutiny. The domain is currently returning an HTTP 301 redirect status, though the destination remains unconfirmed. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Azure DNS nameservers (ns1-08.azure-dns.com, ns2-08.azure-dns.net, ns3-08.azure-dns.org, and ns4-08.azure-dns.org), which may provide resilience but does not inherently indicate malicious intent. As of July 28, 2026, the domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, though it has not been flagged by other major threat intelligence platforms. A VirusTotal scan conducted by 91 vendors returned no detections, though this absence does not confirm the domain's safety. The domain remains active, and its exact content or phishing methodology has not yet been analyzed in depth. Defenders are advised to monitor network traffic for connections to this domain, particularly in environments where Microsoft credentials or services are in use. Organizations should consider implementing temporary blocks or alerts for this domain pending further investigation, particularly given its association with a high-value brand target. Additional analysis of redirect chains, SSL certificates, and any hosted content is recommended to determine the full scope of the threat. ## 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/store.windows/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=store.windows 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.
