Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

The domain cupchallengemode.world was created to mimic legitimate online activities but has been flagged as a phishing site with a VirusTotal score of 17 out of 95. Scamadviser rates it very likely unsafe, giving it a trust score of 1, and notes that it has minimal visitor traffic. Additionally, DNSFilter and IPQS have reported the website as malicious, indicating its potential to deceive users into revealing sensitive information.

Registered under PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, this domain is relatively young at 143 days old and is hosted on IP 198.18.0.233. The ongoing warnings from Scamadviser, including its classification as suspicious by IPQS, suggest that this domain was actively used for malicious purposes targeting users. The presence of a valid SSL certificate does not mitigate the risks associated with this site.

Currently, cupchallengemode.world has been taken down, and PhishDestroy has reported it, leading to its blocklisting. Continuous monitoring is in place to prevent any resurgence of phishing activities linked to this domain.

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 →
