discord[.]fresh-soft[.]ru

Analysis of discord.fresh-soft.ru conducted on 23 July 2026 reveals a high‑risk brand‑impersonation site targeting Discord users. The domain was registered on 21 June 2024 through the REGRU‑RU registrar and uses the name servers ns1.reg.ru and ns2.reg.ru. DNS resolution points to IP 178.57.219.239, which belongs to EuroByte LLC (AS210079) located in Russia. The web server presents an HTTP 200 response and runs Nginx with Yandex.Metrika analytics; a valid Let’s Encrypt R12 certificate secures the connection. The page title advertised in the HTTP response is “Скачать Discord бесаплатно для Windows 7, 10, 11”, indicating an offer to download Discord for free, a typical lure for social‑media phishing campaigns.

VirusTotal reports 15 of 93 scanning engines flag the domain as malicious, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100. The site is listed on at least one security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy, confirming active mitigation efforts. The intelligence categorises the activity as “Social Media Phishing” with the specific tactic of brand impersonation of Discord. Evidence for the malicious intent is limited to the observed infrastructure and detection results; no payload samples or credential‑harvesting pages have been captured publicly.

Consequently, the exact phishing workflow and any downstream command‑and‑control infrastructure remain uncertain. Defenders should block the domain and its associated IP at network perimeters, enforce URL filtering for the “discord.fresh‑soft.ru” host, and monitor for outbound connections to the hosting ASN. Users should be warned that any unsolicited download offers claiming to provide Discord for free are likely fraudulent, and genuine Discord downloads are only available from the official discord.com domain. Continuous monitoring of the IP reputation and related sub‑domains is recommended, as the operator may shift hosting or reuse the infrastructure for additional campaigns.
