d378hs9n[.]at-the-lake[.]com

The domain d378hs9n.at-the-lake.com was observed hosting a Telegram brand impersonation site and is currently taken offline. The site presented the page title "TK Store | buy, sell and discover on TK," which does not reference Telegram, indicating that the content was likely altered or the page was not captured before takedown. No SSL certificate was associated with the domain, meaning communications were unencrypted. Registration details show the domain was created on August 14, 2024 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and it resolves to IP address 45.135.237.29 located in Hong Kong and assigned to AS153656 (OWGELS INTERNATIONAL CO., LIMITED).

Nameserver records point to a7.share-dns.com and b7.share-dns.net, typical of shared DNS services used by malicious operators. Reputation metrics are extremely low, with Gridinsoft assigning a trust score of 0 out of 100 and Scamadviser reporting 1 out of 100, reinforcing the malicious nature of the infrastructure. VirusTotal scans recorded 16 detections out of 95 security vendors, confirming that multiple engines flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is specifically blocked by PhishDestroy, indicating that at least one commercial threat intelligence feed has already incorporated it into defensive controls.

Given the brand target of Telegram, defenders should treat any traffic to this host as potentially credential‑stealing or account‑compromise activity. Recommended mitigations include adding the domain and its resolving IP to network deny lists, monitoring DNS queries for the a7.share-dns.com and b7.share-dns.net nameservers for similar patterns, and applying URL filtering rules that block any request containing the domain string. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the operator may reactivate the domain or spawn additional clones using the same registrar or hosting provider.
