79 Threat Score

Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

The domain challengesez.pro was identified as a phishing site impersonating an eSports and gaming community. With a VirusTotal detection score of 16 out of 95, it posed risks to users. While ScamAdviser rated the site with a high trust score of 93, indicating it was 'Very Likely Safe', this is misleading given the phishing nature flagged by PhishDestroy.

Registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, the domain has a relatively short lifespan of 65 days and was hosted on an IP address of 91.214.78.99. Despite its low Scamadviser traffic rank, it managed to obtain a valid SSL certificate, which is often misused in phishing tactics. While ScamAdviser reported that DNSFilter labels it as safe, users should remain vigilant regarding the site's intent.

Currently, challengesez.pro has been taken down and is marked as dead. PhishDestroy has reported the domain and ensured it is blocklisted to prevent further access to this phishing scheme.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
