Verifica phishing e sicurezza per checks.ltd

This domain, checks.ltd, was created on 01 April 2025 and is currently taken offline. Infrastructure analysis shows it resolves to 142.251.154.119, an IP owned by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and located in the United States. The authoritative name servers are lorna.ns.cloudflare.com and sri.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare’s DNS service. Registration was performed through NameSilo, LLC, a registrar that does not impose strict verification, which is consistent with many short‑lived malicious registrations.

The site’s page title, as observed in prior scans, reads “Google Chrome – The Fast & Secure Web Browser Built to be Yours,” and the domain is classified as a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Google. It appears on one public security blocklist and is blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal analysis shows that 4 of 94 scanning engines flagged the domain, confirming a low‑to‑moderate detection rate. No additional public threat‑intel sources such as OTX or Google Safe Browsing entries are currently cited for this FQDN.

Because the domain is offline, live HTTP response codes, SSL certificate details, and trust‑score metrics cannot be collected at this time. Defenders should continue to monitor the associated IP address and Cloudflare name‑server pair for any re‑activation, add the FQDN to internal deny lists, and consider sharing the indicator set with upstream blocklist operators. Correlation with other Cloudflare‑hosted malicious domains may reveal shared tooling. Until the domain reappears, the primary mitigation is to keep the indicator blocked and to watch for any future registration of similar “checks.*” patterns that target the Google brand.
