Registered on July 18, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, the domain resolves to IP address 66.55.66.105 and uses nameservers ns1.dnsowl.com, ns2.dnsowl.com, and ns3.dnsowl.com. The page title, 'ESL Federal Credit Union - Log in,' directly matches the branding of the legitimate financial institution, indicating a targeted attempt to harvest user credentials. Analysis indicates the domain is flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering and is blocked by PhishDestroy. Seventeen of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal have detected this domain as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist. The infrastructure, including the use of DNSowl nameservers and a recently registered domain, aligns with patterns observed in phishing operations.
