This domain, gauntlet-xyz.org, was registered on June 11, 2026 via Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com and resolves to the IPv4 address 144.31.215.70. The zone is hosted by dnspod.com, as shown by the authoritative name servers a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com and c.dnspod.com. Multiple security products have already blocked the host: PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL list it as denied, and three independent blocklists contain the domain. VirusTotal reports nine of ninety‑one scanners flagging the site, indicating a non‑trivial detection rate.
The current status is active, meaning the infrastructure is still reachable. Public data does not include TLS certificate details, HTTP response codes, page title, or any content analysis, so the exact phishing template and targeted brand remain unknown. Likewise, autonomous system number, hosting country, and related IPs have not been disclosed, limiting correlation with broader malicious infrastructure. Defenders should immediately add gauntlet-xyz.org to DNS‑level deny lists and block outbound traffic to 144.31.215.70 at perimeter firewalls.
Monitoring for additional sub‑domains under the same parent zone and for queries to the dnspod.com name servers can provide early indication of campaign expansion. Ensure that feeds from PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL are enabled in endpoint and browser security solutions, as these already contain the domain. Regular re‑scanning on VirusTotal or comparable sandbox platforms is advised to capture any evolution in payload or detection signatures. Enrich future investigations with WHOIS and passive DNS lookups to detect possible registrar or hosting changes that may accompany the threat actor’s operations.
