usedeq[.]net

The domain usedeq.net is a phishing site engaged in brand impersonation, specifically targeting Google as part of a tech-support scam. It does not deploy a crypto drainer kit but instead attempts to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate Google service. As of the latest verification, usedeq.net has been taken offline, though prior activity posed an elevated risk to visitors.

Technical indicators confirm usedeq.net as malicious, with 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagging the domain, including Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on September 6, 2000, and resolves to the IP address 23.235.198.16, hosted by InMotion Hosting, Inc. in the US. It appears on two security blocklists, PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and uses an SSL certificate issued by GoDaddy.com, Inc. The observed page title, 'Pusulabet - Pusulabet Lisanslı Giriş - Pusulabet Kesintisiz Casino Deneyimi,' does not align with the impersonated brand, further indicating fraudulent intent. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing its classification as a phishing domain.

Individuals who visited usedeq.net should immediately change any passwords entered on the site, particularly if they reused credentials across services. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts as an additional security measure. Monitor financial and online accounts for unauthorized activity, and report the incident to Google’s official fraud reporting channels. Victims can also submit the domain to platforms like PhishTank or the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) to aid in broader threat mitigation efforts.
