cow[.]beefy-hub[.]lol

Analysis of cow.beefy-hub.lol, first observed on October 25 2025, shows a short-lived infrastructure used to impersonate Facebook. The domain was registered through Dynadot LLC and delegated to the Cloudflare name servers brenna.ns.cloudflare.com and hassan.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to 142.250.80.36, an address owned by AS15169 Google LLC in the United States. No TLS certificate was presented, indicating the site was served without HTTPS.

The HTTP response returned a page whose title element contained the string "Google", which does not match the advertised Facebook branding and suggests the page content has not been publicly documented. The site was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering, listed on one external blocklist, and was actively blocked by PhishDestroy. Independent scanning on VirusTotal recorded ten detections out of ninety‑five antivirus engines, confirming a malicious classification. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, the lowest possible rating.

The infrastructure has been taken offline, but the IP address remains owned by Google and could be reused for future campaigns. Defenders should continue to block cow.beefy-hub.lol at the DNS and URL filtering layers, add the associated IP to reputation‑based deny lists, and monitor the Cloudflare name servers for any re‑registration of the domain. Ongoing vigilance is advised because the underlying hosting provider and name‑server configuration allow rapid redeployment of similar phishing assets.
