Intelligence Briefing: 52.96.222.130
The host address 52.96.222.130 was validated by the server during assessment. Ownership records attribute the address to Microsoft Corporation (AS8075) within the United States, specifically associated with the MICROSOFT-CORP-MSN-AS-BLOCK routing operator. Geolocation data places the network location in Phoenix, Arizona, though the provider classification identifies the infrastructure as CloudCompute and Hosting services rather than a specific CDN or proxy network.
DNS hygiene checks, including SPF, DMARC, CAA, and DNSSEC, were not performed during the current assessment. Risk scoring returned a zero value, but this metric does not confirm the absence of malicious activity. TLS probes indicated a historical certificate status with no active endpoint resolution at the time of observation. Available certificate metadata, described as a probe finding, references the subject CN=outlook.com issued by DigiCert Inc, covering domains associated with Microsoft services such as Outlook and Office 365.
Due to the lack of active TLS endpoint resolution and unverified DNS hygiene checks, conflicting observations regarding service purpose and current certificate validity persist. No definitive evidence of non-compliance or malware was observed in the supplied profile. Continued monitoring and corroboration through active scanning are recommended to verify current operational status and security posture.
