The domain itau-otorgare.cc was registered on March 03, 2026 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and is served from the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to the United States and is announced by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The authoritative nameservers evelyn.ns.cloudflare.com and jacob.ns.cloudflare.com confirm that the domain is hosted behind Cloudflare’s edge network, with HTTP/3 support detected. TLS termination is provided by a Let’s Encrypt certificate (E8), indicating a valid, publicly trusted HTTPS endpoint. The page title returned by the site is "Banco Itaú - Paraguay," suggesting an attempt to impersonate the financial institution. Google Safe Browsing classifies the URL as a social engineering threat, and the domain appears on one external blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy.

VirusTotal analysis recorded two positive detections out of ninety‑five security vendors, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The site has been taken offline at the time of reporting, but the infrastructure details remain active and could be re‑used. Defenders should immediately block traffic to 188.114.96.3 and to the domain name itau-otorgare.cc at DNS, firewall, and proxy layers.

Continuous monitoring of Cloudflare‑associated IP ranges and the registrar Gname.com for new registrations resembling the observed pattern is advised. Organizations using brand‑related email filters should add the domain to denial lists and enforce strict verification of any communications purporting to originate from Banco Itaú, especially those referencing Paraguay. Incident response teams should retain the observed indicators—IP, nameservers, SSL fingerprint, and detection counts—for correlation with future threat intelligence feeds.
