alva[.]cash

The domain alva.cash was registered on March 26, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently active. It resolves to the Cloudflare edge address 172.67.221.119, which is associated with a Cloudflare, Inc. node in Canada. The site presents a valid TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, confirming that HTTPS connections are successfully negotiated. The authoritative nameservers are joan.ns.cloudflare.com and robert.ns.cloudflare.com, both standard Cloudflare delegations.

The landing page title reads “Alfacash - Buy, Sell & Exchange Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, XRP, EOS, Tether and many other digital assets and blockchain tokens,” explicitly referencing the Ethereum brand. This title, combined with the classification of the site as an impersonation of Ethereum, matches the observed threat pattern of brand‑impersonation scams targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain appears in a single AlienVault OTX pulse and is listed on one public security blocklist. VirusTotal scans have resulted in 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, indicating a high confidence of malicious intent. PhishDestroy also reports the domain as blocked.

Defenders should treat alva.cash as a high‑confidence malicious infrastructure. Immediate mitigation steps include adding the domain and its resolving IP (172.67.221.119) to outbound and inbound deny lists, and ensuring that any email or web gateway signatures that detect the “Alfacash” brand phrase are updated. Continuous monitoring of Cloudflare edge IP ranges for newly resolved addresses associated with this domain is advisable, as the attacker may shift to alternative edge nodes. Because the underlying hosting is a shared Cloudflare service, threat hunting should focus on the observed page content and TLS fingerprint rather than attempting to takedown the IP directly.
