Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

cointed.io is a fraudulent domain that impersonates a cryptocurrency exchange, primarily deceiving users into believing it is a legitimate platform for buying and selling Bitcoin and Ethereum. The domain has a VirusTotal score of 15/95, indicating a high level of suspicion. Both Gridinsoft and Scamadviser have flagged it as very likely unsafe, with trust scores of 1 and warnings regarding its hidden ownership and association with high-risk cryptocurrency services.

The domain was registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is only 116 days old. Its infrastructure includes an IP address of 172.67.195.144, which has been linked to hosting concerns. The warnings from Scamadviser highlight that the registrar is known for associations with scams, and the low Tranco rank suggests minimal legitimate traffic, further emphasizing the site's dubious nature.

Currently, cointed.io is marked as dead, and PhishDestroy has actively taken steps to report and blocklist this domain to prevent further fraudulent activities. Continuous monitoring is in place to ensure the domain remains inactive and does not resurface in future phishing attempts.

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 →
