profitgrove-invest[.]com

The domain profitgrove-invest.com was registered on 21 February 2026 through INWX GmbH and uses Cloudflare DNS (ariadne.ns.cloudflare.com, zod.ns.cloudflare.com). It resolves to the Cloudflare‑owned address 172.67.217.26, ASN 13335, located in the United States. No TLS certificate is presented, indicating the site was served over HTTP only. The page title retrieved before the takedown reads “Profitgrove - Offizielle Plattform | KI‑Trading 2025 | Über 10.000 Bewertungen”, which aligns with the declared investment‑scam profile and the impersonation of the brand “argent”.

Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, and PhishDestroy has already blocked the domain. VirusTotal recorded 7 detections out of 93 scanners, and the domain appears on one external blocklist. AlienVault OTX references the domain in a single threat‑intel pulse. The brand target is explicitly listed as argent, confirming a brand‑impersonation campaign aimed at luring victims into a fraudulent investment scheme.

Current HTTP status shows the site is offline, but the infrastructure elements (registrar, Cloudflare hosting, lack of TLS) remain reusable for future malicious deployments. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter and DNS layers, monitor the associated IP 172.67.217.26 for any new hostnames, and add the nameservers to watchlists. Because the domain was taken down, active probing is not possible, but the presence on multiple vendor blocklists and the low trust score warrant inclusion in threat‑intel feeds and alerting rules that trigger on any future resolution to the same IP or on the use of the “Profitgrove” keyword in URLs. Continuous review of OTX and other threat‑intel sources is recommended to detect possible re‑registration or copycat campaigns.
