This domain, adoptmekorea.online, is identified as a fraudulent gaming phishing site targeting players of the popular online game Adopt Me. The site mimics an official Korea-based server for the game, attempting to deceive users into entering login credentials, downloading malicious files, or installing unauthorized software. Analysis indicates the primary threat involves credential harvesting and potential malware distribution, which could lead to account takeovers or system compromise. The site’s deceptive design and false claims of exclusive in-game rewards are common tactics used to exploit players seeking regional servers or special content. Infrastructure analysis reveals concrete indicators of malicious activity. The domain is flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with detection labels including phishing and fraud. It appears on one security blocklist and has been included in four threat intelligence pulses on a major open-source threat exchange platform. The domain was registered through a hosting provider known for low-cost registrations, and it resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.65. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, while detected technologies include Vercel for hosting and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) implementation, which may be used to evade basic security checks. Users who visited adoptmekorea.online should take immediate action to mitigate risks. First, avoid entering any credentials or downloading files from the site. If login details were submitted, change passwords for the affected game account and any other platforms where the same credentials may have been reused. Run a full system scan using updated security software to detect potential malware. Monitor accounts for unauthorized activity, such as purchases or messages sent from your profile. Finally, report the domain to relevant gaming platform support teams and consider enabling multi-factor authentication to enhance account security. The domain is currently offline, but similar threats may reappear under different names, so vigilance is advised.
Detection-evasion evidence
Cloaking confirmed: scanners and visitors see different content
ObservedDifferent content was served to scanners and to visitors
The page served one response to a browser-like visitor and another to a crawler or security scanner. Cloaking exists only to keep reviewers away from the real landing page.
What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
