Azure storage subdomain flagged as phishing by Yandex major browser blocklists with no business records or visible content.
Score breakdown
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
Website Preview
The site returned a server error when we tried to load it in our sandbox, so there was no page to capture. A working business almost always renders — treat this site as unverified.
We attempt a live render of every scanned site in a safe sandbox. This one couldn’t be reached — the failure itself is a signal, noted in the analysis below.
Visual analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.

Intelligence
The URL points to a Microsoft Azure static website path that one security engine flagged as phishing. The parent domain dates back to 1995, but that age belongs to microsoft.com, not this specific storage location. No business registration exists for the subdomain and the page failed to render due to a server error. Similar z13.web.core.windows.net paths have hosted phishing campaigns according to multiple security discussions. The combination of a generic hosting pattern known for abuse plus an active phishing detection outweighs the clean IP reputation and lack of widespread complaints.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for svnshiftplay.z13.web.core.windows.net, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain is a Microsoft Azure Blob Storage static website path (*.z13.web.core.windows.net) under the legitimate microsoft-owned domain web.core.windows.net.
- web.core.windows.net subdomains are frequently used to host phishing pages, tech support scams, and malware redirects, as documented in multiple security reports and forums.
- Specific examples of similar z13.web.core.windows.net subdomains (e.g., viruswarning*.z13.web.core.windows.net, 2023error*.z13.web.core.windows.net) have been analyzed as phishing or malicious by sandboxes like ANY.RUN.
- No direct mentions, reviews, or reports found for the exact subdomain svnshiftplay.z13.web.core.windows.net in search results.
- Reddit threads (r/sysadmin, r/microsoft, r/phishing) discuss blocking z13.web.core.windows.net subdomains due to repeated phishing attacks hosted there.
- Zscaler research (2019) documented over 2,000 phishing attacks hosted on web.core.windows.net domains, including z13 variants impersonating Outlook and other services.
- Domain age of 30.9 years refers to the parent microsoft.com / windows.net registration (1995), not this ephemeral Azure storage path.
We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for svnshiftplay.z13.web.core.windows.net and didn't find scam reports or complaints. For a new or low-traffic site this is expected and is not by itself a sign of trust.
