No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-28 17:43:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 00:20:52 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 17:44:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] threatintel.microsoft.com Fake Microsoft Alert Threatintel.microsoft.com is currently flagged as an active generic phishing infrastructure under investigation as of 28 July 2026. The domain resolves to Azure DNS name servers (ns1-39.azure-dns.com, ns2-39.azure-dns.net, ns3-39.azure-dns.org, ns4-39...), indicating hosting within Microsoft Azure’s DNS service. Registration is listed through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used by large enterprises, which does not by itself guarantee legitimacy. HTTP probing returns a 301 redirect, suggesting an attempt to forward visitors to another location, a typical technique used to conceal malicious landing pages. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming its presence on external threat‑intelligence sources. VirusTotal has processed the domain with 91 scanning engines; none reported a detection at the time of analysis, but the absence of detections does not imply safety. No additional evidence such as SSL certificate details, IP geolocation, or page‑title information is available in the current data set, leaving the exact hosting IP and content of the redirected target unknown. Given the sub‑domain structure mimicking a Microsoft service, the domain may be leveraged to harvest credentials or deliver further malicious payloads. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any traffic to the Azure DNS name servers associated with the domain, and incorporate the indicator into security information and event management (SIEM) rules. Ongoing observation of blocklist updates and any future VirusTotal scans is recommended to detect changes in the threat posture. ## 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/threatintel.microsoft.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=threatintel.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.
