Is 9000-firebase-deskcrypt0011-1773850667186.cluster-2nmnojxdmnfh2vwda4kd7uoumu.cloudworkstations.dev legit or a scam?
Abused Google Cloud subdomain repeatedly used to host phishing pages, with direct reports on this URL despite showing a 404.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The domain matches the exact pattern attackers use to spin up temporary Google Cloud instances for phishing. Specific reports from urlquery and Joe Sandbox label this URL as malicious, while Group-IB documents the same port-firebase prefix technique for redirecting victims. The current 404 page does not change the history of abuse on this infrastructure. The parent domain is old but the subdomains are ephemeral and created on demand by attackers. No legitimate business or positive signals exist for this instance.
