taiyaki51-recruit[.]com

This domain, taiyaki51-recruit.com, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site specializing in fake job recruitment scams. Analysis of the page title, 『山本グループ51』日本一たい焼リクルートページ, indicates an attempt to impersonate a legitimate Japanese recruitment brand, likely targeting job seekers with fraudulent employment offers. The threat type aligns with brand impersonation phishing, a tactic commonly used to harvest personal and financial information under the guise of job applications or interviews. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators confirming malicious intent. The domain resolves to IP address 183.181.86.102, hosted on AS131965 (Xserver Inc.) in Japan, and was registered on February 25, 2026, through XServer, Inc. VirusTotal reports 18 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while Google Safe Browsing and one additional security blocklist have also classified it as phishing. The SSL certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt (R13), provides no inherent trust validation, as phishing domains frequently leverage free certificates to appear legitimate. The domain has since been taken offline, but its infrastructure remains a documented risk. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP (183.181.86.102) at the network perimeter. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to detect and prevent access to domains registered through XServer, Inc., particularly those created in 2026 with similar naming patterns (e.g., brand + numeric suffix). Security teams are advised to monitor for user reports of unsolicited job offers from this domain or related infrastructure. Employee training should emphasize verification of recruitment communications, including cross-checking domain registration dates and SSL certificate issuers. Network logs should be reviewed for prior connections to 183.181.86.102 or subdomains of taiyaki51-recruit.com to identify potential data exposure.
