Analysis of www.news-metaverse.com indicates that the domain was used for an investment‑type phishing campaign. The site was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on 3 March 2025 and is hosted on Cloudflare’s network (ASN 13335) with the IP address 172.67.206.162 located in the United States. The authoritative name servers are athena.ns.cloudflare.com and wilson.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate was observed, suggesting the site was reachable only via plain HTTP.
The page title returned by the server is “NFT”, which aligns with the reported investment‑scam narrative that often leverages non‑fungible token terminology. VirusTotal scans show that five of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, and the domain appears on a single external blocklist. AlienVault OTX lists the domain in two threat‑intelligence pulses, confirming that it has been shared within the community. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, and PhishDestroy reports the domain as blocked.
The site is currently offline, and the risk level is classified as elevated. Defenders should ensure that the IP address 172.67.206.162 and the associated Cloudflare AS are added to deny lists, enforce blocking of the domain in DNS filtering solutions, and monitor for newly registered domains that use the same registrar or name‑server pattern. Because the content has not been publicly archived, further behavioural analysis is limited; however, the combination of low trust score, multiple vendor detections, and community‑based intelligence strongly suggests that the domain was employed to lure victims into fraudulent investment schemes. Ongoing surveillance of related infrastructure is recommended.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
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.

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.
11 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.
Threat Ingested
duplicate-disabled-3229.invalid detected and queued for full analysis
A stored Cloudflare Radar report is available. The report link alone is not a malicious verdict and does not prove that every network field was captured.
The latest stored checks indicate that the reported content is unavailable; this does not establish who or what caused the change.
