gfd-ethcoin[.]xyz

gfd-ethcoin.xyz is flagged as a crypto‑scam infrastructure that was registered on 30 July 2025 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., placing the hosting in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are anderson.ns.cloudflare.com and ophelia.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming that the domain is hosted on Cloudflare’s DNS platform. No TLS certificate was observed for the host, and HTTP requests return no content because the site is currently taken offline. VirusTotal analysis recorded nine positive detections out of ninety‑five scanning engines, indicating that multiple security vendors have identified the domain as malicious. The domain appears on two public blocklists and is explicitly listed by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer as a phishing or fraud source.

Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reflecting an extremely low reputation. AlienVault OTX reports a single pulse referencing the domain, adding further corroboration of its association with illicit activity. The only concrete attribution is the “Crypto Scam” label supplied in the intelligence feed; no specific cryptocurrency brand or wallet address is disclosed, and no page title or content snapshot is available for analysis. Because the infrastructure is tied to a well‑known content‑delivery network, the malicious operator can rapidly relocate the site if required.

Defenders should block traffic to gfd-ethcoin.xyz at the network perimeter and add the domain to endpoint and email filtering deny lists. Continuous monitoring of the associated IP address and Cloudflare nameserver records is recommended to detect any re‑hosting attempts. Organizations that handle cryptocurrency transactions should increase user awareness of unsolicited requests referencing “ethcoin” or similar terminology, even when the domain is inactive, as attackers may reactivate the site or clone its infrastructure elsewhere.
