htp-mask[.]art

The domain htp-mask.art was registered through NameSilo, LLC on 2025-02-01 and is serviced by the Cloudflare name servers mckenzie.ns.cloudflare.com and porter.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) located in the United States. The site hosted on this address does not present an SSL/TLS certificate, indicating that HTTPS connections are not available. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 further reflects a lack of reputational credibility.

VirusTotal analysis shows that a single security vendor out of 95 flagged the domain, and it is presently listed on one public blocklist. PhishDestroy has actively blocked the domain, and the current operational status is reported as offline. The evidence points to a classic phishing infrastructure: a newly created domain, low‑trust score, minimal detection, and reliance on Cloudflare’s CDN to obscure the true backend. However, no public page title, brand targeting, or detailed payload information has been released, so the exact phishing lure remains unknown.

Defenders should add 188.114.96.3 to network deny lists, enforce blocking of any HTTP traffic to htp-mask.art, and monitor for any resurgence of the domain or related sub‑domains. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain with sandbox and URL‑reputation services is advised, as the offline status may change. Updating intrusion‑prevention signatures to include the observed nameservers and registrar information will help surface future attempts that reuse this registration profile.
