slon----4cc[.]ru

On July 29, 2026, the domain slon----4cc.ru was observed as an active generic phishing infrastructure with an elevated risk rating. The domain was registered through the Russian registrar REGRU‑RU on March 06, 2026 and is served by the nameservers ns1.reg.ru (duplicate entry) and ns2.reg.ru (duplicate entry). DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 205.185.113.136, which currently hosts the malicious payload. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy sink‑hole service, indicating that at least one anti‑phishing feed has identified it as malicious.

VirusTotal analysis shows that three of ninety‑one scanning engines have raised detections against the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious activity. No additional intelligence such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title information is available at this time, and the content of the landing page has not been publicly disclosed. The limited detection footprint suggests that the campaign may be in an early stage or employing a low‑profile hosting strategy. Defenders should add the domain and its resolved IP address to local deny lists, monitor DNS queries for the domain, and enforce outbound traffic controls to prevent connections to 205.185.113.136.

Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is recommended to capture any changes in detection status, and any observed credential submissions should be treated as compromised. Organizations that employ email filtering should ensure that messages containing links to slon----4cc.ru are quarantined or rejected, and users should be educated to avoid clicking unknown links. Ongoing intelligence collection is required to determine the exact phishing lure, target brand, and any associated command‑and‑control infrastructure.
