Confidence
This domain is a genuine Microsoft infrastructure asset, not a phishing or scam site. The domain was registered in October 2020 and is explicitly associated with Microsoft across multiple trust sources. It carries a valid Microsoft-issued TLS certificate, is hosted on Microsoft's IP infrastructure (204.79.197.200), and appears in official Microsoft allowlists for Bing, Teams, and content-security policies. Our antivirus network flagged zero detections, browser blocklists are clean, and the hosting IP has zero abuse reports. Independent sources confirm the domain's legitimacy and mature status. No scam reports, complaints, or fraud mentions exist in public databases or forums. The incomplete screenshot is likely due to the page being a static-asset endpoint rather than a user-facing website — such domains typically serve resources rather than render full HTML pages.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on msftstatic.com and not a lookalike like m-sftstatic.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

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 found no threat indicators on msftstatic.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • msftstatic.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 88/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. msftstatic.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Microsoft Corporation · Microsoft TLS G2 RSA CA OCSP 02, expiring in 137 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • msftstatic.com is 5.7 years old, registered on 10/16/2020 through Nom-iq Ltd. dba COM LAUDE. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report msftstatic.com as clean.
  • No. msftstatic.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • msftstatic.com resolves to an IP operated by Microsoft Corporation in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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.
  • Yes. msftstatic.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
