Analysis of yyt.xiaotianxiang.com shows a domain that has been used for brand impersonation of Rakuten. The site is currently offline, but historical evidence indicates it resolved to the Cloudflare address 104.21.57.11, which is associated with AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. Nameserver records point to eugene.ns.cloudflare.com and stella.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. The domain was registered on 17 January 2018 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and no SSL certificate was observed for the host, meaning HTTPS was not configured at the time of capture. Public threat intelligence lists the page title as “Rakuten”, matching the declared brand target.

The scam type is recorded as “Brand Impersonation”, and the domain appears on at least one security blocklist, where it was flagged by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal scans reported detections by 15 of 95 security vendors, providing additional corroboration of malicious intent. No Safe Browsing or OTX entries are supplied in the available data. Because the site is no longer reachable, direct content analysis is limited to the page title and metadata. It remains unclear whether the domain hosted a full‑scale credential‑harvesting portal, a redirect chain, or a simple landing page.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS layers, update any URL‑filtering or threat‑intelligence feeds with the observed indicators, and monitor for re‑use of the same host or similar sub‑domains under the same registrar. Given the Cloudflare hosting, any future re‑deployment could leverage the same IP range, so alerts on traffic to 104.21.57.11 originating from internal users are advisable. The lack of TLS does not mitigate risk, as HTTP connections can still convey malicious payloads. Continuous review of the registrar’s new registrations for similar patterns is recommended to pre‑empt further impersonation attempts.
