Is 74ze98.cn a Google brand impersonation?

This domain, 74ze98.cn, was registered on 16 June 2026 and is currently active. DNS resolution points to 104.21.44.229, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc. in Canada. HTTP requests receive a 301 redirect and the landing page returns a 403 Forbidden title. The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 identifier, which is inconsistent with the domain’s purpose and supports the classification as a Google brand impersonation campaign. The threat is listed as high risk. Intelligence feeds show the domain cited in two AlienVault OTX pulses and flagged by a single blocklist, with PhishDestroy already blocking it. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. VirusTotal analysis shows 10 of 91 scanners marking the domain as malicious. No additional technical artifacts such as payloads or phishing kits have been publicly disclosed. Defenders should block DNS and HTTP traffic to 74ze98.cn, monitor for connections to its Cloudflare IP, and incorporate the domain into existing indicator‑of‑compromise lists. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further evidence may emerge.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      ad9c5e8318b0c5319c3d8a7b5f8e0a2ef526dea1f27b808428d82c6f9a6983d8

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
