Phishing site — do not log in
Flagged on major browser safety blocklists as social engineering. This page looks designed to steal credentials. Don't log in — and if you already did, change the password anywhere you reused it and turn on two-factor authentication.
Is login-stage.iws-action.com legit or a scam?
Confirmed phishing domain hosting a fake Microsoft login page to harvest user credentials.
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.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The domain login-stage.iws-action.com is explicitly listed as a phishing URL in OpenPhish community threat feeds. The page renders a Microsoft account sign-in form with correct branding, but the domain itself is not legitimate Microsoft infrastructure. Our browser blocklists flag it for social engineering. The page title 'Redirecting' combined with zero legitimate business presence, no contact information, and no web reputation indicates this is a credential-harvesting redirector. The hosting IP shows no abuse history but is in a range commonly abused for phishing campaigns. No legitimate business or service operates under this domain — searches for the real Interstate Waste Services show they use official domains (interstatewaste.com, myiws.interstatewaste.com). This is a textbook phishing attack.

What our vision model saw
1 signalMicrosoft sign-in page layout is visible but no URL bar is present in the screenshot, making it impossible to confirm whether the domain matches microsoft.com or is a phishing clone

OpenPhish community threat feeds explicitly document login-stage.iws-action.com as an active phishing URL. The domain has zero legitimate web presence, business registration, or positive reviews. Searches for the real Interstate Waste Services confirm they operate under official domains (interstatewaste.com, myiws.interstatewaste.com) — this domain is an impersonation. No scam reports on consumer review sites, but the OpenPhish listing and browser blocklist flagging provide definitive evidence of active phishing infrastructure.
