cifrfactory[.]com

The domain cifrfactory.com was registered on March 12, 2026 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and resolves to the Cloudflare‑owned address 188.114.97.3 (AS13335, United States). The site was served behind Cloudflare, using HSTS, HTTP/3, and the Cloudflare Browser Insights script, and the front‑end was built with Vue.js. A Google Trust Services / WE1 SSL certificate was presented, indicating a valid certificate chain issued by Google. The page title returned by the live endpoint was "cifrfactory.com/#/"; no additional content was captured before the site was taken offline.

VirusTotal scans recorded six positive detections out of ninety‑four participating security vendors, and the domain appears on one external blocklist. PhishDestroy has also listed the site as blocked. The domain’s nameservers are nick.ns.cloudflare.com and sandy.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. As of the report date (July 25, 2026) the site is no longer reachable, suggesting that the malicious operation has been disrupted or withdrawn.

However, the combination of recent registration, Cloudflare hosting, a valid TLS certificate, and multiple vendor detections strongly indicates that the domain was used for a generic phishing campaign. Defensive teams should continue to block the IP address 188.114.97.3 and the domain name across perimeter and endpoint controls, monitor for any re‑registration or reuse of the same IP range, and consider adding the domain to internal blocklists. Threat hunters should also query recent TLS certificates issued by Google Trust Services for other newly created domains pointing to Cloudflare infrastructure, as this pattern may repeat. Because the page content has not been archived, the exact phishing lure (e.g., credential‑stealing login page) remains unknown; further analysis of any cached snapshots or redirects, if they appear, would be required to refine attribution.
