The SSL certificate was issued with an R10 rating, suggesting weak or mis‑configured encryption.

No additional public intelligence such as Safe Browsing, OTX, or other blocklists is reported.

The limited detection footprint, combined with the low trust score and the presence on a blocklist, suggests a low‑cost infrastructure typical of opportunistic tech‑support scams. Defenders should continue to monitor the associated IP address 198.12.66.123 for any resurgence, add the domain to internal deny lists, and ensure that any outbound requests to HostPapa AS36352 are logged and inspected. Because the site is offline, immediate takedown is not required, but vigilance is advised in case the actors re‑use the same domain or IP range for future campaigns targeting Google users.
