claim-pharos[.]co

The domain claim-pharos.co was registered on May 15 2026 through Dynadot Inc. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.173.40, which is advertised as part of the Cloudflare network (AS13335) located in the United States. The site presents a generic page with the title “Just a moment…”, returns an HTTP 302 redirect, and serves a TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (E8).

Threat‑intelligence feeds have flagged claim-pharos.co as a crypto‑drainer. The domain appears on three security blocklists and has been blocked by multiple protective services, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal analysis shows three out of ninety‑five scanners flagging the domain, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of one hundred, indicating a high confidence of malicious intent. The nameservers adam.ns.cloudflare.com and danica.ns.cloudflare.com confirm the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure.

The observed behavior aligns with a generic phishing front‑end that likely lures victims into connecting a cryptocurrency wallet, after which the underlying script may attempt to authorize unauthorized transfers. The presence of a 302 redirect and the generic “Just a moment…” page are common tactics used to obscure the final malicious payload. However, the specific wallet‑draining code and command‑and‑control endpoints have not been publicly disclosed, leaving the exact infection chain uncertain.

Defenders should treat claim-pharos.co as a high‑risk indicator. Immediate actions include adding the domain and its resolving IP address to blocklists, configuring network firewalls to deny outbound connections to 172.67.173.40, and monitoring DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare nameservers. Continuous scanning with updated sandbox tools is recommended to capture any evolving payloads that may be delivered after the initial redirection.
