bonus-symbiotic[.]com

On 23 July 2026, analysts observed that the domain bonus-symbiotic.com is currently offline but exhibits indicators consistent with a fake‑airdrop phishing campaign. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, which is owned by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and is located in the United States. DNS resolution is served by the Cloudflare name servers alexa.ns.cloudflare.com and randall.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site was delivered over HTTP/3. The TLS certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate, confirming a valid HTTPS endpoint despite the underlying malicious purpose.

An HTTP request returned a 404 status and the page title reported “bonus-symbiotic.com | 504: Gateway time-out”, indicating the service is no longer responding. Registration data shows the domain was created on 1 December 2025 through Dynadot LLC. Threat intelligence sources have recorded the domain in one AlienVault OTX pulse and it appears on a single security blocklist. PhishDestroy has actively blocked the domain, and VirusTotal scans show that ten of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain as malicious. The combination of Cloudflare hosting, a recent registration date, a valid SSL certificate, and detection by multiple vendors aligns with known infrastructure patterns used for fraudulent airdrop scams.

At present, no additional content or landing page details have been captured, leaving the exact lure and credential‑harvesting mechanisms uncertain. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter devices, update URL filtering and DNS sinkhole rules, and monitor for any re‑activation of the IP address or related Cloudflare‑hosted subdomains. Ongoing correlation with the OTX pulse and blocklist entries is recommended to detect potential replicas or new domains that share the same registration or hosting attributes.
