No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 15:43:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 04:20:26 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 15:44:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] tcp.microsoft phishing domain impersonates Microsoft via Azure This domain, tcp.microsoft, is currently under investigation as a phishing threat impersonating Microsoft infrastructure. Analysis reveals it is registered through MarkMonitor Inc. and utilizes Azure DNS nameservers (ns1-06.azure-dns.com, ns2-06.azure-dns.net, ns3-06.azure-dns.org, ns4-06.azure-dns.org), which aligns with legitimate Microsoft domains but is atypical for phishing sites. The domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and is actively redirecting traffic with an HTTP 301 status code. No detections were reported by the 91 vendors that scanned it on VirusTotal, though this absence does not confirm safety. The domain remains active as of July 28, 2026. Defenders should note the discrepancy between the domain's naming convention (suggesting Microsoft affiliation) and its presence on a phishing blocklist. The use of Azure DNS may complicate detection, as it mirrors legitimate Microsoft services. The HTTP 301 redirect indicates the domain is likely part of a larger redirection chain, potentially leading to credential harvesting or malware distribution. No specific brand impersonation or phishing kit has been confirmed at this time, and the exact content of the destination remains unanalyzed. Recommended actions include blocking the domain at the DNS or proxy level, monitoring for connections to its nameservers, and investigating any internal systems that have interacted with it. If the domain is observed in logs, review subsequent network activity for signs of compromise, such as additional redirects, unusual authentication attempts, or data exfiltration. Given the domain's active status and single blocklist flag, further analysis of its hosting infrastructure and redirection targets is warranted. ## 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/tcp.microsoft/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tcp.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.
