rani-bow[.]com

The domain rani-bow.com was registered on July 27, 2025 through Web Commerce Communications Limited and is currently listed as taken offline. Analysis of the TLS handshake reveals the site presented a Microsoft Azure ECC TLS Issuing CA 04 certificate, a credential often abused to lend credibility to fraudulent pages. The HTTP response returned the page title "Suche – Microsoft Bing," which aligns with the reported brand impersonation of Microsoft. Threat intelligence classifies the site as a tech support scam, a subtype of brand impersonation that typically lures victims into believing they need assistance with Microsoft services.

A Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 further indicates a high likelihood of malicious intent. VirusTotal scanned the domain and nine of ninety‑five security vendors flagged it as malicious, and the domain appears on a single security blocklist. PhishDestroy has also blocked the domain.

No additional data such as IP address, hosting ASN, Safe Browsing status, or Open Threat Exchange references were provided, leaving those vectors unverified. Defenders should ensure the domain is blocked at perimeter and DNS layers, add the associated certificate fingerprint to monitoring rules, and watch for new registrations from the same registrar that use similar Microsoft‑related page titles or TLS issuers. Continuous monitoring of the registrar’s new domains and periodic re‑scans of rani-bow.com are recommended to detect any re‑activation attempts.
