slon5[.]shop

On July 25, 2026, the domain slon5.shop was identified as a generic phishing site and is currently taken offline. The page title returned by the host is “slon5.cc”, which does not match the registered domain and is a common indicator of deceptive redirection. The domain is hosted behind Cloudflare (AS13335) and resolves to the IP address 172.67.173.110. Cloudflare‑provided services observed include Cloudflare Browser Insights, the standard Cloudflare reverse‑proxy, and HTTP/3 support, suggesting the operator leveraged a reputable CDN to obscure origin infrastructure. Nameserver records point to dante.ns.cloudflare.com and mckinley.ns.cloudflare.com, both owned by Cloudflare.

Registration data shows the domain was created through Nicenic International Group Co., Limited, a registrar that is frequently used for disposable or fast‑turnaround registrations. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal analysis recorded four detections out of ninety‑four scanners, confirming that multiple security engines have flagged the site as malicious. Public threat intelligence does not provide a detailed payload, login page screenshot, or target brand, so the exact phishing lure remains unknown.

Nevertheless, the combination of mismatched page title, Cloudflare front‑end, registrar choice, and multiple vendor detections constitutes a high confidence indicator of phishing activity. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter firewalls and DNS filtering solutions, monitor for any resurgence of the host or related subdomains, and consider adding the IP address 172.67.173.110 to reputation lists. Because the site is currently offline, any active campaign may be in a dormant phase, but the infrastructure could be repurposed for future attacks. Ongoing observation of Cloudflare‑associated IP ranges and the registrar’s new registrations is recommended to catch potential re‑use.
