Analysis of bitbao.exchange indicates this domain was operating as a fraudulent cryptocurrency exchange platform, classified under the 'Fake Exchange' scam type. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, and was taken offline by July 24, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to IP address 104.21.12.146, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the United States. Nameservers koa.ns.cloudflare.com and ulla.ns.cloudflare.com were in use, consistent with Cloudflare's DNS infrastructure. No SSL certificate was detected for this domain, increasing the risk of unencrypted data interception.

The domain was flagged by four of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, though the specific detection rules or signatures are not detailed in available intelligence. It appears on at least one security blocklist and was blocked by PhishDestroy. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain was 1 out of 100, indicating a high-risk classification. The page title 'Just a moment...' suggests the domain may have been using Cloudflare's interstitial or challenge page, potentially to evade detection or filter automated security scans.

While the domain is currently offline, defenders should treat any prior connections to bitbao.exchange as indicators of compromise. Network logs should be reviewed for traffic to 104.21.12.146 or DNS queries for the domain. Given the registration details and hosting provider, similar domains registered through NiceNIC and using Cloudflare infrastructure may warrant closer scrutiny. The exact content or functionality of the phishing page is not confirmed in available data, but the classification as a fake exchange aligns with common cryptocurrency-related fraud tactics.

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.

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.
