instagramfollowersincreaser[.]blogspot[.]com

The domain instagramfollowersincreaser.blogspot.com was observed as an offline site that returns HTTP 404 and presents the page title “Blog not found”. DNS resolution points to IP 172.253.62.132, an address owned by Google LLC (ASN 15169) and located in the United States. Registration records indicate the domain was created on 31 July 2000 and was registered through MarkMonitor, Inc., using Google’s public nameservers (ns1‑ns4.google.com). A TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE2) was present, confirming that the site employed HTTPS with a valid Google‑issued certificate at the time of capture.

Infrastructure analysis shows the site runs on the Blogger platform and incorporates Java, Python, OpenGSE, and HTTP/3 capabilities. Threat intelligence classifies the domain as a social‑media phishing operation targeting Instagram users; it appears on the PhishDestroy blocklist and on one additional security blocklist. Google Safe Browsing flags the domain for social‑engineering content, and VirusTotal reports that 19 of 93 scanned security vendors flagged it as malicious.

Because the site is currently offline, no further content or payload analysis is possible, leaving the exact phishing landing page unverified. Defenders should maintain DNS‑level blocks for the domain and its resolved IP, incorporate the observed indicators (IP 172.253.62.132, TLS certificate details, HTTP 404 response) into detection rules, and monitor for any re‑registration or resurrection of the infrastructure. Continuous vigilance is advised to preempt potential future abuse.
