pinetexchange[.]icu

The domain pinetexchange.icu is a fraudulent website that impersonates the brand Facebook while presenting itself as the "Pi Network – Pi Blockchain, Community & Developer Platform | Pi Network." This combination of a fake social media platform name and a mismatched brand impersonation indicates a social media scam. The threat posed is primarily credential harvesting or phishing, where visitors may be tricked into providing login credentials or personal information under the false pretense of accessing a legitimate service.

Technical evidence confirms the malicious nature of this site. VirusTotal reports 8/95 detections, with flags from alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and Fortinet. The domain is listed on 1 blocklist. The IP address 145.223.107.89 is hosted in the United States by AS47583 Hostinger International Limited. The domain was created on 2026-02-21 and uses a ZeroSSL RSA Domain Secure Site CA SSL certificate.

The site is currently DOWN/OFFLINE, reducing immediate risk to users. However, the overall risk level is elevated, indicated by a DOM risk score of 63. Despite being offline, the domain remains a threat if reactivated, and the combination of recent creation, multiple security vendor flags, and brand impersonation warrants continued monitoring and blocking.
