These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The page is designed to deceive users into believing they are accessing Microsoft Remote Desktop. Six independent antivirus engines—BitDefender, Fortinet, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, alphaMountain.ai, ADMINUSLabs, and CRDF—classify it as phishing or malicious. The domain was registered only 34 days ago, a hallmark of credential-harvesting campaigns. The page itself is nearly empty (blank body text) but carries a meta description reading 'Microsoft Remote Desktop', a classic phishing tactic: minimal visible content paired with misleading metadata to trick search engines and users. No legitimate business contact information, no functional content, and no legitimate purpose are evident. The SSL certificate is valid but recent (57 days to expiry), consistent with a short-lived phishing infrastructure.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays no visible text or functional content. The HTML title is empty, and the body is blank. The only substantive metadata is a description tag reading 'Microsoft Remote Desktop'—a clear attempt to impersonate Microsoft's legitimate service. No login form, countdown timer, or interactive elements are present; the page appears designed solely to load and redirect or harvest data via external requests.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on IP 172.67.130.185 with a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate expiring in 57 days. The IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score, suggesting the attacker is using a shared or reputable hosting provider to evade initial detection. External resources loaded include go.microsoft.com and Cloudflare Insights, likely used to add legitimacy or track visitor behaviour.

Domain History

Registered 34 days ago via Spaceship, Inc., with privacy protection disabled. The short age combined with phishing-engine detections is a strong indicator of a disposable phishing domain. The registrar and hosting choices suggest the attacker prioritised speed of deployment over operational security.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the domain as phishing or malicious. Browser blocklists remain clean, likely because the domain is too new to have been widely reported. The page is not indexed in global traffic rankings, consistent with a newly-created phishing site with no legitimate traffic.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags deskapp.one as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — deskapp.one scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. deskapp.one presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E8, expiring in 57 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • deskapp.one is 1 month old, registered on 5/10/2026 through Spaceship, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 10 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged deskapp.one as malicious or suspicious (9 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. deskapp.one is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • deskapp.one resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 13, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around deskapp.one have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
