Evidence Summary

CRITICAL
Evidence score
78/100

Analysis of the domain connect-gate.digital indicates it is part of a generic phishing infrastructure observed in early 2026. The domain was registered through Dynadot LLC on March 04, 2026 and resolves to IP address 172.67.191.79, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., confirming the use of Cloudflare’s reverse‑proxy network. HTTP traffic is served over HTTP/3 and the TLS certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (certificate identifier E8), with the domain’s authoritative nameservers listed as aida.ns.cloudflare.com and wells.ns.cloudflare.com. The site’s HTML title reads "ConnectGate — Linux & Networking for IT," suggesting an attempt to appear as a legitimate IT resource, yet no further content analysis is available.

VirusTotal reports that three of ninety‑four scanning engines flagged the domain, reinforcing the malicious classification. The domain appears on three public blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Gridinsoft’s trust scoring system assigns a score of 0 out of 100, reflecting a high confidence of abuse.

Current online status is offline, but the infrastructure remains observable via the Cloudflare edge. Defenders should add connect-gate.digital to internal deny lists, monitor DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare IP range, and enforce TLS inspection where feasible to detect any future reactivation. Continuous watch of the registrar’s activity and the associated blocklist entries is recommended to mitigate potential re‑use of the domain in phishing campaigns.
