fbihelpdesk[.]us

Analysis of the domain fbihelpdesk.us shows that it was registered on February 21, 2026 and was actively used in a tech support phishing campaign that masqueraded as an official FBI help desk. The site resolved to the IPv4 address 192.3.141.252, which is owned by HostPapa (AS36352) and geolocated to the United States. The SSL certificate presented by the host is rated R10, indicating a low trust level, and the Gridinsoft trust score for the domain is 0 out of 100, reflecting a lack of credibility. The page title returned by the server is "FBI Help Desk," confirming the attempt to impersonate a federal agency.

The domain was identified and blocked by the PhishDestroy service and appears on one external security blocklist, demonstrating that at least one third‑party threat feed has flagged the site. VirusTotal analysis reports that two of ninety‑three scanning engines flagged the domain, providing additional, albeit limited, detection evidence. The current operational status of the domain is offline, which suggests that the hosting provider or takedown request has removed the site from public access.

Uncertainties remain regarding the full content of the phishing page, any credential‑harvesting mechanisms, or additional payloads that may have been delivered, as no deeper content inspection or sandbox execution data is available. Defenders should continue to block the domain at DNS and proxy layers, monitor the associated IP address for any re‑hosting activity, and incorporate the domain and its IP into intrusion detection signatures. User education campaigns should emphasize the prevalence of tech support scams that claim affiliation with law‑enforcement agencies, and incident response teams should be prepared to investigate any reported interactions with the site despite its offline status.
