cow[.]airdropsalert[.]life

Analysis of cow.airdropsalert.life indicates a high‑risk brand‑impersonation operation targeting Google users with a fake airdrop lure. The domain was registered on 17 October 2025 through Dynadot LLC and resolves to IP 192.178.155.105, which belongs to AS15169 owned by Google LLC in the United States. Despite the hosting IP being owned by Google, the site itself is unauthenticated; no TLS certificate is presented, and the HTTP service has been taken offline at the time of analysis. The page title returned “Google”, confirming an attempt to mimic the legitimate brand.

Reputation services assign extremely low scores: Scamadviser rates the site 1 out of 100, and Gridinsoft reports a zero‑score rating, reflecting a consensus of malicious intent. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is specifically listed by PhishDestroy as a malicious entry. Google Safe Browsing flags the URL for social‑engineering content, and VirusTotal records 15 detections out of 95 scanned vendors, reinforcing the classification as a social‑engineering scam. The indicated scam type is a “Fake Airdrop”, a common vector that lures victims with promises of free cryptocurrency distributions tied to a brand impersonation.

The combination of brand impersonation, lack of encryption, low trust scores, and multi‑vendor detection marks the domain as high‑risk. Defenders should add the domain and its resolved IP to blocklists, update URL filtering rules to deny any HTTP traffic to cow.airdropsalert.life, and monitor for any re‑appearance on alternative hosting. Network sensors should flag any outbound connections to the 192.178.155.105 address, and endpoint security solutions should treat any binaries or scripts referencing the domain as malicious. Ongoing threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for possible reuse of the same registrar or IP range in future campaigns.
