avan-market-cs2[.]ru

The domain avan-market-cs2.ru is currently flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing site. The page title advertises a marketplace for selling game skins, and the site delivers a full HTTP 200 response that mimics legitimate trading platforms. Automated analysis by PhishDestroy has already placed the domain on its blocklist, and the Gridinsoft trust score is recorded as 0 / 100, indicating a complete lack of trust. VirusTotal reports a single positive out of ninety‑five scanners, and the domain appears on one additional security blocklist, confirming that at least one security vendor has identified malicious activity.

The host resolves to 195.161.68.19, an address owned by AS8342 JSC RTComm.RU in the Russian Federation. All four authoritative name servers (ns1‑ns4.jino.ru) resolve to the same provider, suggesting a shared hosting environment. The site is served by Apache HTTP Server and presents a valid Let’s Encrypt R13 certificate, which does not provide any indication of legitimacy. Client‑side libraries such as jQuery, Slick, and an embedded YouTube widget are present, while Yandex.Metrika is used for traffic analytics, a pattern often observed in phishing sites targeting Russian‑speaking users.

Analysis indicates that the domain was registered on 31 July 2025 through the REGRU‑RU registrar and has remained active for over a year, which is consistent with a sustained phishing campaign. The presence of a single VirusTotal detection leaves uncertainty about the full extent of the payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms employed; no malware hashes or download URLs have been disclosed. Defenders should block DNS resolution for avan‑market‑cs2.ru, enforce HTTP / HTTPS inspection to capture any credential submissions, and monitor outbound connections to the hosting IP. Additional threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any emerging indicators, and any user‑facing services that reference the domain should be updated with warning messages.
