52.96.179.114
The IP address 52.96.179.114 was identified as a Microsoft Corporation (ASN 8075) cloud computing infrastructure endpoint. Ownership records linked the address to the organization within the ARIN RIR, with geolocation consensus placing the resource in Boston, Massachusetts, US. Network analysis classified the system as a hosting provider operating standard web server protocols on TCP ports 80 and 443.
The TLS certificate presented was issued by DigiCert Global G2 to Microsoft Corporation, covering the subject domain outlook.com and related Microsoft service identifiers. Threat intelligence scans returned no indicators of compromise, blacklist entries, or associations with known campaigns. The address carried a risk score of 25 and a reputation label of Low Risk.
Operational data revealed a contradiction between the claimed geolocation and Round-Trip Time (RTT) physics measurements, noting a distance of approximately 6,380km against a minimum possible RTT of 127.6ms versus the observed 27ms. Despite this signal inconsistency, the endpoint was determined to be benign Microsoft cloud infrastructure. The assessment recommended monitoring the address due to the presence of signal contradictions, with no immediate defensive action required.
