tkvip[.]ppeaksmall[.]com

Analysis of the domain tkvip.ppeaksmall.com indicates it was actively involved in brand impersonation targeting Facebook, despite its page title displaying 'TikTok shop.' The domain was registered on April 25, 2025, through GoDaddy.com, LLC and resolved to the IP address 156.251.25.87, hosted on AS399077 (Tcloudnet) in the United States. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain used nameservers ns63.domaincontrol.com and ns64.domaincontrol.com, with no SSL certificate present, increasing susceptibility to interception or tampering. At the time of assessment, the domain was flagged by 15 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, though this does not confirm the full scope of malicious activity. It appeared on at least one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and received a trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft, reinforcing its classification as high-risk infrastructure.

The domain's current status is offline, suggesting either takedown or voluntary suspension by the operator. The discrepancy between the stated brand target (Facebook) and the observed page title ('TikTok shop') introduces uncertainty regarding the exact nature of the scam. Without further evidence, it remains unclear whether the domain was repurposed, misconfigured, or intentionally designed to deceive users across multiple platforms.

Defenders should treat this domain as part of a broader brand impersonation campaign and monitor for re-emergence under similar naming conventions or hosting providers. Network-level blocking of the resolved IP (156.251.25.87) and associated nameservers may mitigate residual risk. Additional telemetry from endpoint or proxy logs could clarify the domain's operational lifecycle and victim profile.
