Confidence

Our research identified this subdomain in multiple malware-tracking databases as a distribution point for infected files. URLhaus records show it hosting a password-protected NORD VPN archive linked to the Vidar stealer trojan. A sandbox analysis from December 2024 confirmed executable content was dropped and overwritten during execution. Independent security researchers flag the subdomain with a 59/100 trust score and blacklist warnings. The subdomain appears to be a legitimate MediaFire user account repurposed for malware distribution rather than an impersonation — MediaFire itself is a trusted service, but this specific upload account is compromised. Multiple complaints and Reddit discussions reference similar downloads from this subdomain resulting in virus infections.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays only an 'invalid parameters' error message on a dark background with no functional content. This is consistent with a direct URL access to a file-hosting subdomain when no valid file ID or parameters are provided.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 199.91.155.32 with valid SSL (Sectigo, 49 days to expiry). The IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. However, the subdomain itself is flagged by alphaMountain.ai as suspicious. No browser blocklists currently flag the domain, likely because the malicious content is file-specific rather than the landing page itself.

Domain History

This is a subdomain of mediafire.com, a legitimate US-based cloud storage company. The specific subdomain download2291 appears to be a user-created upload account rather than official MediaFire infrastructure. WHOIS data is unavailable for the subdomain.

Web Reputation

URLhaus database lists a specific file URL (NORD+VPN.rar) hosted on this subdomain as malware distribution. Gridinsoft security scanner flags the subdomain with a 59/100 trust score and blacklist warning. ANY.RUN sandbox analysis from December 2024 shows executable content dropped during file execution. Independent review aggregators show a 100/100 trust score, likely reflecting MediaFire's overall reputation rather than this specific subdomain's abuse history.
