hdfcbank-in.org is a phishing domain that impersonates HDFC Bank. The name pairs the bank's brand with an "-in" country hint on a generic .org extension, which makes it look like an official Indian banking address. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-11. The site has been offline since 2026-10-14, and it was still dead with no content at its root when last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Bank impersonation domains like this one are usually spread through SMS, email or ads warning about a blocked account, a pending KYC update or a reward. Victims land on a copy of the bank's login page and are asked for their customer ID, password, card details or one-time codes, which the operators then use to empty accounts or approve transactions. The page title last served was "404 - Page Not Found", while we classify the domain as HDFC Bank impersonation phishing.
Evidence
Four of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain as of 2026-10-12: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and SOCRadar. That count is low, but it is backed by several independent sources. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL under the phishing category, and it appears on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists alongside PhishDestroy. Two AlienVault OTX pulses also reference it, so other researchers have tracked it independently.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-24 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, 48 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That gap is typical of domains that are registered in advance and activated later for a campaign. It resolved to 194.238.57.99 on the NODE HOST LIMITED network in Sweden, which has no connection to an Indian bank's real infrastructure.
What to do
If you entered your HDFC Bank credentials on this site, change your net banking password and PIN immediately from the bank's official app or website. Call HDFC Bank to report the incident, and block or reissue any card whose number, expiry or CVV you typed in. Check recent transactions and payees for anything you did not authorise, and never share a one-time code that arrives after you have visited a suspicious page. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP. They should also watch DNS and mail logs for lookalike hdfcbank-* registrations and alert users that this name is not an official HDFC Bank address.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
