instagramorganicfollowers[.]blogspot[.]com

The domain instagramorganicfollowers.blogspot.com was observed as a high‑risk generic phishing site targeting social media accounts. Analysis shows the domain resolves to 142.251.141.65, an address owned by Google LLC (AS15169) in the United States. The site is hosted on Google’s Blogger platform, indicated by the presence of Blogger, Java, Python, OpenGSE, and HTTP/3 in the technology fingerprint. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE2 profile, confirming the use of a legitimate Google‑issued TLS chain.

The domain was created on July 31, 2000 and is registered through MarkMonitor, Inc., a registrar commonly associated with brand‑protected domains. Nameserver delegation to ns1‑ns4.google.com further confirms Google’s infrastructure. HTTP probing returned a 404 status with the page title "Blog nicht gefunden," indicating the content is currently unavailable and the site is listed as offline. Threat intelligence sources report the domain appears on a single blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy.

VirusTotal scans returned 16 detections out of 95 security vendors, and Google Safe Browsing flags the URL for social engineering, matching the classified scam type of Social Media Phishing. While the current offline status limits immediate exploitation, the historical presence of phishing indicators suggests the domain was previously used to harvest credentials or deliver malicious payloads. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter devices, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP range, and update endpoint protection rules to reflect the 16 VirusTotal detections. Future investigations should seek to retrieve archived page content to confirm the exact phishing lure and assess any residual command‑and‑control infrastructure that may remain active.
