Is pub-8395d783c3564236868f2e10fcd6fd05.r2.dev legit or a scam?
A malicious phishing host using a Cloudflare R2 public bucket pattern frequently associated with credential theft and cloud-service scams.

Our analysis identifies this domain as part of a known malicious pattern where attackers abuse public storage buckets to host phishing pages. G-Data, Gridinsoft, and Sophos have all issued active phishing alerts for this specific URL. While the main page currently shows a 404 error, our research confirms this exact subdomain has been linked to credential-harvesting files like 'New3_E.html'.
