Recorded Evidence
MetaMask and SEAL included crates-embercurve-distribution.xyz on their blocklists as of 2026-10-07. VirusTotal checked the domain on 2026-10-01, reporting 5 detections out of 92 scanners. OTX referenced the domain in three pulses as of 2026-10-07. The registrar is NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and the registration date is 2026-09-30.
Interpretation
The available records show that crates-embercurve-distribution.xyz was noted by several monitoring platforms within a week of its registration. Its inclusion on two external blocklists and in multiple OTX pulses suggests that it attracted attention from different security sources. The VirusTotal detections further indicate that some scanners flagged the domain during their review.
Recommended Actions
Preserve all blocklist records from MetaMask and SEAL for crates-embercurve-distribution.xyz to enable future comparison. Retain the VirusTotal and OTX records, as these provide additional context for monitoring changes in the domain's status. Use these sources to inform ongoing review and assessment of the domain.

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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.
