MT Intelligence
download2287.mediafire.com is a legitimate subdomain of the established MediaFire file-hosting service (founded 2006, domain age 23 years). However, our research uncovered four separate malware reports linking this specific subdomain to active infostealer campaigns. Sandbox analyses from ANY.RUN and tria.ge document stealer malware payloads distributed via download URLs on this subdomain, with file names like '[ZAKK MALI] MODPACK TAWURAN V1.7z' used as social-engineering lures. The subdomain is also listed on URLhaus as a known malware-distribution host. While MediaFire itself implements antivirus scanning to block infected uploads, attackers continue to exploit the platform by uploading malicious files that bypass initial detection or are flagged only after distribution begins. The single antivirus detection in our scan (Cluster25) aligns with the confirmed malware reports.
