rewards-solana[.]xyz

rewards-solana.xyz is a newly registered domain (created 21 February 2026) that has been used in a crypto‑scam campaign targeting users of the Solana blockchain. The site resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, which belongs to Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and is geolocated in the United States. DNS resolution is provided by the Cloudflare authoritative name servers everton.ns.cloudflare.com and jamie.ns.cloudflare.com. The registrar listed for the domain is NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited.

A request to the site returned the HTTP title “Just a moment…”, and no SSL/TLS certificate was presented, indicating that the service was operating without HTTPS encryption at the time of observation. The domain has been added to at least one security blocklist and is currently flagged by PhishDestroy as offline. VirusTotal analysis shows that four of ninety‑three scanned security vendors flagged the domain, corroborating the malicious classification. The observed activity is categorized as a crypto scam that impersonates the Solana brand, consistent with the “brand impersonation” threat type in the intelligence feed.

While the infrastructure points to a legitimate Cloudflare front‑end, the lack of TLS, the generic page title, and the positive detections suggest purposeful abuse of the hosting service to host phishing or malicious content. No additional payload, phishing page content, or credential‑stealing mechanisms have been publicly disclosed, leaving the exact user‑facing behavior uncertain. Defenders should block the domain at the DNS or firewall level, monitor outbound connections to the associated IP address, and incorporate the domain indicator into existing threat‑intel feeds. Continuous re‑verification is advised, as the domain may be re‑activated or repurposed after the current offline status.
