IE8 VM download link is broken

I'm trying to download the "IE8 on Win7 (x86)" for "VirtualBox" from:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

And when I click "Download .zip" it produces the following error:

<Error>
<Code>BlobNotFound</Code>
<Message>The specified blob does not exist. RequestId:a9283e1d-c01e-004c-5606-5361aa000000 Time:2021-05-27T14:41:22.3447740Z</Message>
</Error>

All the other platforms (e.g. Vagrant) and IE versions point to a valid file. I checked the structure of this particular URL it attempts to download:

https://az792536.vo.msecnd.net/vms/VMBuild_20150916/VirtualBox/IE8/IE8.Win7.VirtualBox.zip

And it is entirely consistent in naming conventions with the other images. So it seems like this one specific file is missing.

Does anyone know how to get in contact with the team overseeing the Virtual Machines page to get this fixed?

Or an alternate link on the web somewhere?

I'm writing a library that works in IE9+ and I just want to verify if it works in IE8 or not so I can fill out the "compatible browsers" table correctly, and use VirtualBox on my Mac.

Thanks!
