bitmine[.]finance
“404 Not Found”
The domain bitmine.finance is currently active and classified as a high‑risk generic phishing site targeting investors. DNS resolution points to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. in Canada and is served through Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3. The authoritative nameservers are demi.ns.cloudflare.com and gannon.ns.cloudflare.com. Registration occurred on March 22, 2026 via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and the site presents a Let's Encrypt certificate identified as E7. HTTP requests return a 403 status while the page title reports "404 Not Found," indicating that the malicious landing page is either hidden or deliberately inaccessible. VirusTotal scans show nine out of ninety‑four security vendors flagging the domain, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The domain is already listed on one security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy. While the exact content and payload of the site remain unknown due to the 403/404 responses, the combination of recent registration, low trust score, multiple vendor detections, and association with an investment‑phishing campaign suggests active exploitation. Defenders should immediately block traffic to bitmine.finance and its resolving IP 188.114.96.3 at network perimeters, enforce DNS filtering, and monitor for any outbound connections that reference the Cloudflare nameservers. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain is recommended to capture any changes in content or additional detections.
