yandex-mall[.]com

Analysis of yandex-mall.com indicates a brand impersonation campaign targeting Apple. The domain was registered on October 14, 2025 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and is currently taken offline, returning no HTTP response. No TLS certificate is presented, confirming the absence of HTTPS protection. The site resolved to IP address 118.107.13.22, which is hosted in Japan and belongs to AS152194 under CTG Server Limited.

Nameserver configuration uses a.share-dns.com, a10.share-dns.com, b.share-dns.net, and b10.share-dns.net, a pattern frequently observed in disposable or fast‑flux infrastructures. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting extreme malicious confidence. VirusTotal records show that 16 of 95 scanning engines flagged the domain, providing independent confirmation of malicious intent. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, reinforcing its classification as a phishing or brand‑impersonation vector.

The page title returned by the server, "TikTok-Wholesale," does not reference Apple, suggesting the site may have been repurposed or that the title was used to conceal the underlying intent. While the offline status limits real‑time observation of payloads or credential‑collection mechanisms, the combination of registrar details, low‑trust scoring, lack of encryption, and multiple detections justifies an elevated risk rating. Defenders should add yandex-mall.com to URL filtering rules, monitor DNS queries to the associated nameservers, and block outbound connections to the hosting IP. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised in case the domain is re‑activated or the threat actor modifies its hosting footprint.
