kad99[.]top

Analysis of kad99.top shows a high‑risk brand‑impersonation infrastructure targeting Discord users. The domain was registered on 27 September 2025 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolves to 188.114.97.3, an address owned by Cloudflare (AS13335) located in the United States. No SSL certificate is presented, indicating the site was served over plain HTTP. The authoritative nameservers are george.ns.cloudflare.com and lindsey.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming Cloudflare DNS usage.

The page title returned from the live host was “Jupiter: The DeFi Superapp | Jupiter”, a title unrelated to Discord and suggesting the site may have been repurposed for a crypto‑related scam. Google Safe Browsing flags the domain for social engineering, and two independent blocklist services, PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, have added it to their blacklists; overall the domain appears on two security blocklists. VirusTotal reports that 14 of 93 scanning engines flagged the domain, reinforcing the malicious assessment. AlienVault OTX includes the domain in one threat‑intel pulse, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100.

The current operational status is offline, but the evidence indicates the domain was actively used for a Discord impersonation campaign that likely leveraged a crypto‑draining lure. Defenders should continue to block kad99.top at network and endpoint layers, monitor for any re‑registration of the name or similar patterns, and incorporate the observed indicators—IP address 188.114.97.3, Cloudflare nameservers, and the mismatched page title—into detection rules. Additional investigation is required to capture the exact content that was delivered before takedown, as the page title alone does not reveal the phishing landing page or credential‑harvesting mechanisms.
