eth-trade[.]vip

On July 23, 2026 the domain eth-trade.vip was observed to be offline and returned HTTP 503 responses. The domain was registered on July 16 2025 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and resolves to the AWS EC2 address 15.207.117.111 located in the India (ap-south-1) region. Infrastructure analysis shows the authoritative name servers are a9.share-dns.com and b9.share-dns.net, both of which are commonly used by transient hosting services. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been listed by PhishDestroy as a malicious resource. Threat intelligence indicates the site was classified as a crypto-scam phishing operation.

AlienVault OTX references the domain in fifteen separate threat-intel pulses, suggesting repeated observations across multiple campaigns. VirusTotal reports that fourteen of ninety-three scanning engines flagged the domain, reinforcing the malicious assessment. No public Safe Browsing verdict or SSL certificate details are available, and the page title has not been disclosed. The evidence points to a short-lived phishing infrastructure that was likely deployed to target cryptocurrency users before being taken offline. The limited blocklist presence and the recent creation date imply a fast-flux or throwaway approach.

Because the domain currently returns a 503 status, active exploitation is unlikely, but remnants of the infrastructure may persist in DNS caches or related IP assets. Defenders should continue to block the IP 15.207.117.111 and the domain eth-trade.vip at perimeter filters, update threat-intel feeds with the OTX pulse identifiers, and monitor for any re-registration attempts or similar naming patterns. Additional scrutiny of traffic to AWS EC2 instances in the ap-south-1 region that exhibit rapid DNS turnover may help uncover related campaigns. Ongoing vigilance is recommended until the infrastructure is fully retired.
