fhfr18[.]it

fhfr18.it was observed hosting a phishing landing page titled "Welcome aboard". The domain was registered on 12 August 2025 through the registrar 1 Api GmbH and delegated to Cloudflare name servers aria.ns.cloudflare.com and arturo.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to IP 188.114.96.3, an address owned by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and geolocated to the United States. The TLS certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate, confirming the use of a valid public‑trusted chain. HTTP requests were served over Cloudflare’s HTTP/3 stack.

The site was taken offline before the analysis was completed, and current HTTP status is unavailable. Independent scanning on VirusTotal recorded detections from two of ninety‑five security vendors, indicating that at least a subset of scanners recognized malicious behavior. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and is listed by the PhishDestroy feed, which corroborates the phishing classification. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing or OTX references was observed.

The limited exposure window suggests a short‑lived campaign, a pattern common to "drop‑and‑run" phishing operations that rely on rapid domain turnover. Defenders should block the domain at the DNS and proxy layers, add the IP address 188.114.96.3 to any relevant deny lists, and monitor for other domains that resolve to the same Cloudflare edge range. Continuous re‑query of VirusTotal and blocklist sources is recommended to capture any future re‑activations. The presence of a legitimate SSL certificate does not mitigate the risk; the combination of a phishing‑specific page title, registrar information, and vendor detections provides sufficient confidence to treat fhfr18.it as a confirmed phishing site.
