smtp[.]romtelecom[.]net

The domain smtp.romtelecom.net is currently active and delivers a credential‑phishing page identified by the page title “Webmail Login”. The site is hosted on IP 92.82.184.5, which maps to the Orange Romania network (AS8953) in Romania. Registration data shows the domain was created on 3 Nov 1998 and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com; the authoritative nameservers are ns1.romtelecom.net and ns2.romtelecom.net. The service presents a valid Let’s Encrypt certificate (R13) and returns HTTP 200 responses. Detected web technologies include Apache HTTP Server, Bootstrap, jQuery, jQuery UI, and HSTS enforcement. VirusTotal analysis records 14 of 94 security vendors flagging the domain, and the domain is listed on two public phishing blocklists (PhishDestroy and PhishingDB). Independent reputation services assign a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 and a Scamadviser score of 1/100, indicating extreme distrust. The observed evidence confirms the site’s purpose as a credential‑phishing operation targeting webmail credentials. No additional content has been examined beyond the title, so the specific login form implementation remains unverified. Defenders should block both the domain and the associated IP address at network perimeters, incorporate the domain into threat‑intel feeds, and consider sinkholing the IP range to disrupt further activity. Continuous monitoring for changes in hosting or certificate status is advised.
