sfv[.]efc[.]mybluehost[.]me

Analysis of the domain sfv.efc.mybluehost.me indicates it was actively impersonating WordPress, a finding supported by multiple technical indicators. The domain, registered on October 5, 2016, through Domain.com via Network Solutions, LLC, resolved to IP address 50.6.3.202, hosted on Oracle Corporation's AS31898 in the United States. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Bluehost nameservers (ns1.mybluehost.me, ns2.mybluehost.me) and technologies consistent with WordPress environments, including Apache HTTP Server, PHP, and MySQL. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (R13), does not mitigate the risk given the domain's malicious classification. At the time of assessment, the domain returned an HTTP 500 status, suggesting either takedown efforts or backend misconfiguration.

The page title was recorded as 'home,' though no further content analysis is available. Security vendors flagged the domain on VirusTotal, with 5 of 95 engines detecting malicious activity. It appears on at least one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and received a trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft. MX records point to mail.sfv.efc.mybluehost.me with priority 0, which may have been used for credential-harvesting or follow-up phishing campaigns.

The domain has since been taken offline, but defenders should treat any prior resolution or email traffic as compromised. Organizations are advised to block the domain, IP, and associated MX records at the perimeter. Historical logs should be reviewed for connections to 50.6.3.202 or the domain itself, particularly in contexts involving WordPress credentials or plugin updates. Given the domain's age and hosting on a shared provider, further related domains may exist under the mybluehost.me namespace and should be monitored for similar activity.
