wallet-connect[.]sbs

Analysis of the domain wallet-connect.sbs, first observed on February 21 2026, indicates that it was operated as a brand-impersonation site targeting WalletConnect. The public page returned the title "reCAPTCHA Verification", suggesting a verification step rather than a legitimate service. VirusTotal records show that 12 of 93 scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of abuse. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is specifically listed by PhishDestroy as a blocked entry.

Network resolution points to the IPv4 address 91.202.233.156, which is registered to AS200593 (PROSPERO OOO) in Russia. The TLS certificate presented is identified as "R13", indicating an untrusted or self-signed certificate not issued by a recognized public CA. The hosting infrastructure and IP attribution are consistent with other cryptocurrency-related malicious operations observed in the region. The site was taken offline at the time of reporting, and its current HTTP status is unavailable.

The elevated risk rating reflects the combination of brand impersonation, a non‑trusted certificate, and multiple vendor detections. Defenders should add wallet-connect.sbs to domain blocklists, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP, and enforce SSL pinning or certificate validation for WalletConnect-related traffic. Because the site is no longer reachable, retrospective analysis may rely on collected logs and the VirusTotal detection set; further intelligence gathering should focus on any related command‑and‑control infrastructure that may share the same ASN or hosting provider.
