The domain eth-web3.vip is identified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) users. Analysis confirms the domain was designed to mimic legitimate CS2 skin gambling platforms, leveraging the ETH cryptocurrency for fraudulent transactions. Current status indicates the domain is offline, though prior activity suggests intent to deceive users into transferring digital assets under false pretenses. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 24, 2025, through Dominet (HK) Limited and resolved to the IP address 47.239.42.247, hosted on Alibaba (US) Technology Co., Ltd. infrastructure (AS45102). Security vendors flagged the domain in 19 of 95 VirusTotal scans, while it appears on three distinct security blocklists. The absence of an SSL certificate further undermines its legitimacy, as encrypted connections are standard for financial or gambling-related platforms. Additional detection by multiple browser-based security extensions corroborates the malicious classification. Given the domain's current offline status, the immediate threat to end users is mitigated. However, historical indicators suggest potential for re-emergence under similar infrastructure. Organizations and individuals are advised to proactively block the domain and its associated IP (47.239.42.247) at the network level. Users should verify the authenticity of any CS2-related gambling or trading platforms by cross-referencing official brand channels. Cryptocurrency wallet addresses linked to this domain should be treated as compromised and avoided in future transactions. Continuous monitoring of newly registered domains with similar naming patterns (e.g., 'web3', 'eth', or 'cs2') is recommended to preempt further impersonation attempts.

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.
This timeline displays historical security and status checkpoints observed by the PhishDestroy automated monitoring network. It records domain lifecycle updates, scanner changes, and threat telemetry over time.
16 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.
