No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 15:53:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 16:20:22 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 15:54:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] support.microsoft Safety Check — Phishing Detected The domain support.microsoft was flagged on July 28 2026 as a generic phishing site and is currently listed as active. Registration information shows the domain was acquired through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly associated with legitimate Microsoft assets, which does not preclude malicious use of the name. Infrastructure analysis reveals the authoritative name servers are ns1-01.azure-dns.com, ns2-01.azure-dns.net, ns3-01.azure-dns.org, and ns4-01.azure-dns.net, all belonging to Microsoft Azure DNS services. The HTTP response for the root URL returns a 301 redirect, indicating the host is actively serving web traffic, though the destination URL is not disclosed in the available data. The domain is presently blocked by the PhishDestroy feed and appears on a single external security blocklist, confirming at least one independent detection source. VirusTotal reports indicate that the domain was examined by 91 scanning engines, none of which raised a detection; this absence of alerts should not be interpreted as evidence of safety, especially given the active phishing designation. No additional artifacts such as IP address, SSL certificate details, Safe Browsing verdicts, OTX references, or page title information were supplied, leaving those vectors unverified. Defenders are advised to continue treating the domain as malicious, enforce network‑level blocking, incorporate the domain into URL filtering policies, and monitor for any change in its hosting or content characteristics. Ongoing telemetry collection and periodic re‑scanning are recommended to capture potential future activity. ## 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/support.microsoft/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=support.microsoft 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.
