Verdict

Domain impersonates Microsoft Teams but redirects to Wikiversity

join-msteams.live is a two-day-old domain whose name suggests a Microsoft Teams login or meeting page, yet it immediately redirects visitors to the legitimate Wikiversity educational site. One antivirus engine flagged it as phishing while the browser threat feed did not.

Avoid visiting or entering any credentials on this domain. The combination of a brand-new domain, misleading name, and redirect behavior warrants caution even though the current destination is benign.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Immediate redirect to unrelated educational site

The domain performs a 302 redirect from http://join-msteams.live/ straight to https://www.wikiversity.org/.

Wikiversity is a legitimate Wikimedia project offering free learning resources in multiple languages, confirmed by the page content showing language options and educational material counts.

New domain with misleading name

The registrable domain is only 2 days old, a timeframe commonly used for transient or throwaway domains.

The domain name 'join-msteams.live' strongly implies a Microsoft Teams meeting or login page, creating a mismatch with its actual destination.

Mixed security signals

One antivirus engine (SOCRadar) flagged the domain as phishing, while 92 other engines returned clean results.

the browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the TLS connection is valid.

Why the score is 45

1 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is join-msteams.live a scam or is it safe?

There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give join-msteams.live a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 2 days old — recently-registered sites carry more risk. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.

Is join-msteams.live safe to use?

join-msteams.live has a Safety Score of 45/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is complete at 100%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.

Has join-msteams.live been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 1 of 93 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged join-msteams.live, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is join-msteams.live on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — join-msteams.live is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.

How old is the join-msteams.live domain?

join-msteams.live is 2 days old, registered on October 5, 2026 through NameSilo, LLC. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.

Does join-msteams.live have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — join-msteams.live presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, valid for another 26 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".

Where is join-msteams.live hosted?

join-msteams.live resolves to an IP operated by Wikimedia Foundation Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

How often is the join-msteams.live report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on October 8, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about join-msteams.live has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
