This domain, winupdate.live, is currently active and classified as a credential phishing campaign with a high risk rating. The domain was registered on 29 November 2025 through NameCheap, Inc. and uses the authoritative name servers dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 162.254.37.217. Open source intelligence from AlienVault OTX indicates the domain has been referenced in five separate threat‑intelligence pulses, suggesting that it has been observed by multiple analysts. Scanning on VirusTotal shows that 20 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing activity. The available data confirms the domain’s operational status but provides no additional detail on the hosting environment, associated certificate information, or the specific payload delivered to victims. Consequently, defenders should treat any traffic to winupdate.live as potentially hostile. Recommended mitigations include adding the domain to block lists at network perimeter devices, configuring endpoint security solutions to monitor DNS queries for the listed IP address, and employing email filtering rules to detect messages that reference the domain. Continuous monitoring of OTX updates and VirusTotal re‑scans is advised to capture any changes in detection rates or new intelligence.
