The domain www.lumosfiber.com is currently active and has been classified as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation campaign. Automated analysis shows the site resolves to the IP address 23.185.0.4, which belongs to the Fastly, Inc. network (ASN 54113) located in the United States. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12) and the HTTPS request returns HTTP 200, indicating a fully functional web server. The page title reported by crawlers is “Lumos | High‑Speed Fiber Internet Provider in NC, VA and SC,” suggesting the site is masquerading as a legitimate fiber‑internet provider. The underlying stack consists of WordPress, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP, Varnish, Yoast SEO, Pantheon and Nginx, all typical of a content‑managed site, and the authoritative name servers are dns1.nstel.com and dns2.nstel.com. From threat intelligence perspective, VirusTotal has logged a single detection out of 91 scanning engines, and the domain appears on one external blocklist.
PhishDestroy has also listed the domain as malicious, providing an additional confirmation of hostile intent. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, reinforcing the assessment of a low‑reputation asset. The registrar is GoDaddy.com, LLC and the domain was created on 16 July 2021, indicating a relatively mature registration period. The only publicly identified malicious behavior is the designation of “Crypto Scam” in the intelligence feed, implying that the site may be used to solicit cryptocurrency payments under the guise of a legitimate telecom service. No further details about phishing pages, credential harvesting forms, or malware distribution have been observed, so the exact user‑facing tactic remains unclear. Likewise, the “brand target: across” label does not specify which brand is being impersonated beyond the generic reference in the page title.
Defenders should block traffic to 23.185.0.4 and add www.lumosfiber.com to allow‑list exclusions for security appliances.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
