defiportal[.]org

defiportal.org is currently flagged as a brand‑impersonation site that targets Apple users with a tech‑support scam. The domain was first observed on May 28 2025 and remains active as of 12 July 2026. Security feeds indicate the site is being actively blocked by PhishDestroy.

Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP 185.178.208.177, which is announced by AS57724 (DDOS‑GUARD LTD) and geolocated to Russia. The authoritative name servers are ns1.ddos-guard.net and ns2.ddos-guard.net, both owned by the same provider. The site presents a valid Let’s Encrypt R12 certificate, and HTTP requests return a 200 status code.

Technical fingerprints reveal an Ubuntu operating system running Nginx, with front‑end components including Bootstrap, Lightbox and jsDelivr. Reputation services assign a Scamadviser trust score of 5 / 100 and a Gridinsoft score of 6 / 100, reflecting extremely low legitimacy. VirusTotal records a single detection out of 95 scanners, and the domain appears on one external blocklist.

While the hosting and certificate details are well documented, the actual page content has not been captured in this assessment, leaving the exact visual impersonation tactics and credential‑harvesting mechanisms unverified. No additional malware signatures or command‑and‑control infrastructure have been linked to the IP address.

Defenders should add 185.178.208.177 and defiportal.org to network deny lists and configure web filters to block any HTTP(S) traffic to the domain. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the domain and its name servers is advised, as well as user education campaigns warning Apple users about unsolicited tech‑support offers. Incident response teams should treat any credentials submitted to the site as compromised and initiate appropriate containment.
