Why this link is not being flagged for phishing abuse?
« on: March 10, 2023, 04:34:56 PM »
Why after reports nothing was done towards following unsafe parked domain link?

Re: -https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=187566

See multiple redirection links for this parked domain, e.g.
to -Final URL 
htxps://joakim.uddholm.com/posts/claiming-a-microsoft-shorturl-for-an-easy-phish
-> https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/455a4246fbddb6aa8e13473ef18fc81d4cef7d609e8d81a78f3fe458d02a790a/details

No flagging whatsoever -> https://www.ip-lookup.org/score/78.47.94.92
=> https://www.shodan.io/domain/static.92.94.47.78.clients.your-server.de

It is the method of claiming a dhorturl to go a-phishing, that is being demonstrated here.

The so-called safe unsafe websites. It is a hackers tale,
but MS & Google as such should be aware of potential abuse on parked domains.

That is the point being made here.

The site at "static.92.94.47.78.clients.your-server.de" is at least not used to abuse.

Following site is being blocked by adblockers.
Not flagged here, but it is not safe, isn't it? Risk of abuse on parked site redirection.

Not flagged here either: https://urlscan.io/result/b2bee744-ff60-413e-91bc-f4e03bcd3085/

Finally redirects to -http://whairtoa.com/4/ is in Dr.Web malicious sites list!

-http://whairtoa.com/4/ is listed as spammer -> https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/265fefbd68d0367a5dfd5ba17c3054977f8056edd241c1665680b0850a3d869?nocache=1  (spam abuse on a parked website)
