Malicious actors rarely choose names like "virus-depot.net" or "steal-your-data.com." They choose names that mimic the legitimate infrastructure of the web. "UploadMall" suggests a repository, a place where files are stored and exchanged, perhaps a cloud service or a drop box. It is designed to lull the user into a false sense of security. The user thinks, "I am just visiting a digital mall to pick up a file." In reality, they are standing at the gates of a trap.
