yupoofrance[.]ru

Analysis of the domain yupoofrance.ru indicates a high‑risk brand‑impersonation campaign targeting WhatsApp users. The domain was registered on 19 April 2025 through RU‑CENTER‑RU and has no TLS certificate, leaving HTTP traffic unencrypted. DNS resolution points to IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to Cloudflare’s network (AS13335) and is geolocated in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are aliza.ns.cloudflare.com and anderson.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure.

The site’s HTML title, “Maison – yupoofrance,” does not reference the targeted brand, and the page content has not been publicly disclosed, so the exact spoofing technique remains unknown. Detection data show that 16 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, and AlienVault OTX lists the domain in 15 separate threat pulses, suggesting active monitoring by multiple analysts. The domain appears on four public blocklists and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura, indicating that defensive feeds have incorporated the indicator. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, reinforcing the malicious classification.

Given the offline status at the time of reporting, the infrastructure may be temporarily withdrawn, but the registrar and hosting details remain valid and could be reused. Defenders should add yupoofrance.ru and its resolving IP 188.114.96.3 to blocklists, monitor for re‑appearance of the domain or similar registrations, and enforce URL filtering for any HTTP requests to the domain. Incident response teams should also inspect outbound traffic for connections to Cloudflare‑hosted IPs that match the observed ASN and consider tightening rules for unencrypted traffic to newly registered .ru domains. Continuous threat‑intel sharing with partners is recommended to track any resurgence of this campaign.
