This report details the technical threat assessment for apex-clove.online. The site's page title, "Apex Clove Trade | CFD Trading — Trading on Stocks, Gold, Oil, Indices," falsely claims to offer contract for difference trading. The site is classified as a Romance Scam and impersonates the brand "across." The primary threat is that it is used to deceive victims into fraudulent financial investments under the guise of a legitimate trading platform.

Technical evidence confirms the site is malicious. VirusTotal shows 9 out of 95 vendors flagged the domain as malicious, with specific flags from ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, and Fortinet. The domain is registered under UPPERLINK LIMITED and was created on 2025-09-05. It resolves to IP address 163.61.188.89, hosted in the US on AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE. The site has no SSL certificate and uses nameservers dns1.cupisweb.com, dns2.cupisweb.com, vip1.cupisweb.com, and vip2.cupisweb.com. It appears on 1 blocklist.

Currently, the site is DOWN/OFFLINE. Its risk level is high, with a GridinSoft trust score of 0 out of 100 and a ScamAdviser trust score of 34 out of 100. The DOM risk score is 30. Despite being offline, the domain remains a significant threat due to its confirmed malicious nature and association with romance scams.
