machallengers[.]pro

On July 25, 2026 the domain machallengers.pro was observed to host a site whose HTML title reads “Global | eSports and Gaming Community”. The domain is currently offline, which aligns with its listing as taken offline in the intelligence feed. Registration data shows the domain was created on April 17, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, and the authoritative name servers are carl.ns.cloudflare.com and pola.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating Cloudflare DNS services. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 172.67.195.107, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc., located in Canada. The SSL certificate presented by the server is issued by Let’s Encrypt (identifier “E8”), confirming the use of a free certificate commonly seen on malicious infrastructure.

Reputation checks reveal a Gridinsoft trust score of 1 out of 100, reflecting extreme distrust. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal analysis returned 7 detections out of 94 scanned engines, confirming that multiple antivirus and URL‑filtering products consider the site malicious. No additional public blocklists or Safe Browsing entries were reported beyond the single list.

The available evidence points to a typical credential‑harvesting infrastructure that likely targeted users of eSports or gaming communities, as suggested by the page title, but the actual page content has not been captured. Consequently, the specific phishing kit, lure details, or targeted brand cannot be confirmed at this time. Defenders should add machallengers.pro to DNS‑ and proxy‑level block lists, monitor for any future resolution changes, and enforce strict outbound traffic inspection for connections to Cloudflare‑owned IP ranges that have previously served malicious content. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain after it becomes reachable again is recommended to capture any evolving payloads or additional detections.
