verizon[.]pzfkc[.]icu

On July 23, 2026, verizon.pzfkc.icu was observed as an offline domain used for brand impersonation of x.com. The domain was registered on December 16, 2025 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and resolves to the Cloudflare address 104.21.13.201, ASN 13335, located in the United States. DNS resolution is served by leanna.ns.cloudflare.com and leif.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate is presented; HTTP responses return the default “Welcome to nginx!” title, indicating a bare web server without application‑level content.

The site appears on one security blocklist and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal scans report 18 of 93 antivirus engines flagging the domain, reflecting a moderate detection rate. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, confirming the domain’s malicious reputation. The current offline status prevents active exploitation, but the infrastructure—namely the Cloudflare IP and the generic nginx page—suggests the operator can reactivate the site quickly.

No further artifacts such as login forms, payload scripts, or redirect chains have been captured, leaving the exact phishing methodology uncertain. Defenders should continue to deny resolution to this host, incorporate the domain and its IP into local and network‑level blocklists, and monitor for any re‑registration or DNS changes. Additional telemetry, such as request logs or sandbox analysis of any retrieved content, would be required to fully characterize the threat vector and confirm whether the domain serves credential‑harvesting pages targeting x.com users.
