app-zebec[.]network

On May 15, 2024, PhishDestroy identified the domain app-zebec.network as a credential harvesting endpoint engaged in active phishing campaigns. The domain mimics legitimate financial services to deceive victims into surrendering login credentials, posing a significant risk to enterprise and personal users alike. Current telemetry confirms ongoing malicious activity, warranting immediate defensive measures. This domain, registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, was created on April 29, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. VirusTotal analysis reveals that 1 of 95 security vendors flagged this domain for malicious activity, with no observed blocklist presence at this time. The SSL certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt, may lend an air of legitimacy, though issuance mechanisms are frequently abused by threat actors to evade detection. Further, the domain’s recent creation date suggests opportunistic registration targeting current events or trending financial narratives. As of this advisory, app-zebec.network remains active and is actively resolving to its associated IP. Organizations and users are strongly advised to block this domain at the network perimeter and DNS level to prevent user exposure. Implementing browser-based controls such as safe browsing policies and endpoint detection rules (e.g., YARA signatures) is recommended to mitigate risk. Additionally, users should be reminded to verify website authenticity via multi-factor authentication and to avoid clicking on unsolicited links purporting to originate from financial institutions. Continuous monitoring of this domain and associated infrastructure is advised due to the evolving nature of credential harvesting campaigns.
