myhermes[.]de-vfrs[.]top

The domain myhermes.de-vfrs.top was registered on 5 November 2025 through Dominet (HK) Limited and is currently taken offline. Technical analysis shows the host resolves to 34.107.215.64, an address owned by Google LLC (ASN 396982) located in the United States. The domain uses the public DNS resolvers ns7.alidns.com and ns8.alidns.com and does not present an SSL/TLS certificate, meaning HTTP connections are unencrypted. The page title observed during the brief crawl was “Hermes Paketversand,” which does not match the advertised brand.

However, intelligence indicates the site was designed to impersonate the cryptocurrency‑related service Ankr, classifying the activity as brand impersonation. VirusTotal reports five of ninety‑five scanners flagging the domain, suggesting malicious content was detected by a minority of engines. The domain appears on one external blocklist and has been added to the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that network‑level defenses have already begun to block it. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reinforcing the low reputation.

Because the site is offline, active probing is limited, and no HTTPS certificate or additional content has been captured. Defenders should continue to block the hostname and its resolved IP at perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any resurgence of the domain, and update threat‑intelligence feeds with the observed indicators. Additional investigation is recommended if the domain reappears, particularly to capture the payload served and to verify whether the impersonation extends to credential‑harvesting pages targeting Ankr users.
