verizon[.]com-hez[.]cc

This domain, verizon.com-hez.cc, is flagged as a brand impersonation threat targeting Amazon, despite displaying a page title associated with Verizon ("Verizon Deals: Save on Phones, Internet, Accessories | Verizon"). Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and is currently offline. It resolved to the IPv6 address 2a06:98c1:3121::3, hosted on Cloudflare’s network (AS13335). The SSL certificate is issued by WE1, a provider commonly used for both legitimate and malicious domains, offering no definitive signal of abuse on its own.

Detection data indicates elevated risk: Scamadviser assigned a trust score of 1/100, while Gridinsoft rated it 0/100. Ten of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, and it appears on at least one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. The domain is classified as an e-commerce scam, though the exact mechanics—such as fake checkout pages, counterfeit product listings, or payment interception—remain unconfirmed due to its offline status. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed brand impersonation threat.

The combination of low trust scores, vendor detections, and blocklist inclusion provides sufficient evidence for takedown or blocking actions. Given the mismatch between the domain name (Verizon-branded subdomain) and the stated brand target (Amazon), this may represent a broader campaign leveraging trusted brand names to deceive users. Further investigation into associated infrastructure, such as hosting providers or linked domains, is recommended to identify related threats. No additional context about the scam’s operational phase (e.g., active redirects, payment processing) is available at this time.
