40.99.235.146
Intellectual analysis of IP address 40.99.235.146 indicated ownership by Microsoft Corporation (AS8075) within the 40.74.0.0/15 CIDR block. The asset was classified as a cloud compute hosting environment operating as a web server. Network services included standard HTTP and HTTPS ports, with a server banner identifying Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0.
Geolocation data reported the location as Quebec, Canada; however, RTT physics measurements indicated a 5365km distance discrepancy, contradicting the claimed geolocation. A further contradiction existed where the TLS certificate subject location was recorded as the United States while the primary geolocation source reported Canada.
Threat analysis revealed no malicious indicators. The IP was not listed on any blacklists, held a risk score of 20 (Low Risk), and showed no evidence of active attacker behavior or known campaigns. DNS hygiene was rated fair with SPF and DMARC records present.
Based on signal contradictions regarding geolocation and certificate attributes, the recommended action was to monitor the address for changes while maintaining low severity status.
