Signals, not verdicts. A domain appears here because heuristics matched its name, its infrastructure or the page it served on its first day. Where a model has looked at it, that is shown as an opinion with a confidence, not as a finding. Nothing on this page says a site is malicious. Read the evidence and decide for yourself.

Model opinions

Second opinionlooks like abusetarget: Microsoftconfidence 80%· claude-opus-5-5

The name brand-squats Microsoft on a throwaway .surf TLD with third-party dyna-ns nameservers, which is not Microsoft's infrastructure. The bare 'Software updates' page has no form and a single same-site 'Downloads' link, the typical shape of a fake-update malware-delivery lure rather than credential phishing.

First passsuspicioustarget: Microsoftconfidence 72%· claude-haiku-4-5

Domain name 'microsoft-update.surf' impersonates Microsoft with a lure-word ('update'), but the page content is minimal and shows only generic text about 'Software updates' with a 'Downloads' link—no login form, no credential capture attempt, and no concrete phishing infrastructure are visible. This could be a parking placeholder, an incomplete phishing setup, or brand-squat awaiting deployment.
