op[.]airdropsalert[.]us

The domain op.airdropsalert.us was registered through Dynadot LLC and first observed on October 18, 2025. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP address 142.250.188.4, which belongs to AS15169 Google LLC and is geographically located in the United States. The domain is served by Cloudflare nameservers brenna.ns.cloudflare.com and hassan.ns.cloudflare.com, and it does not present an SSL certificate, leaving the connection unencrypted. The page title returned from the live host was "Google," and the threat profile lists the brand target as Google, confirming deliberate brand impersonation.

The malicious activity is classified as a crypto scam, and the site has been flagged by PhishDestroy and appears on one external security blocklist. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. VirusTotal analysis shows that 13 of 93 scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion. Current operational status is offline, suggesting that the hosting has been taken down or the domain has been disabled.

While the exact phishing vector (e.g., credential harvesting page or crypto wallet address) has not been publicly disclosed, the combination of brand impersonation, lack of TLS, low trust score, and multiple vendor detections provides strong evidence of a fraudulent campaign. Defenders should immediately block the domain at perimeter firewalls and DNS filtering solutions, add the IP 142.250.188.4 to blacklists, and monitor for any related sub‑domains or similar Cloudflare‑named resolvers. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any re‑registration attempts, and incident response teams should advise users to avoid any unsolicited communications referencing Google that direct to this domain.
