polkadot[.]beefyhubs[.]sbs

polkadot.beefyhubs.sbs was observed hosting a page whose HTML title is “Google”, indicating a direct attempt to impersonate the Google brand. The domain was registered through Dynadot LLC on 21 October 2025 and is delegated to Cloudflare name servers brenna.ns.cloudflare.com and hassan.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to IP 142.250.181.228, an address owned by AS15169 Google LLC in the United States, which suggests the attacker is leveraging a legitimate Google infrastructure to increase credibility. No TLS certificate was presented during inspection, and the site currently returns an offline HTTP status, consistent with the “taken offline” note in the intelligence feed. Multiple detection sources have flagged the domain.

VirusTotal recorded 12 detections out of 95 scanned vendors, and the domain appears on at least one public security blocklist. PhishDestroy has explicitly listed the domain as blocked, and Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, indicating an extremely low confidence in legitimacy. The page title, brand target (“Google”), and declared scam type (“Brand Impersonation”) align, confirming the intent to deceive users seeking Google services. Uncertainties remain regarding the exact content served before the site was taken offline; no screenshot or HTML snapshot is available, and no SSL/TLS handshake could be observed. The absence of a certificate may be a deliberate evasion technique or simply a result of the site’s offline state.

No additional indicators such as malicious payload hashes, command‑and‑control endpoints, or credential‑stealing scripts have been reported. Defenders should add polkadot.beefyhubs.sbs to URL filtering and host‑based block lists, enforce DNS sink‑holing for the associated IP range, and monitor for any re‑registration attempts.
