Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

The domain kienetiq.xyz was identified as a phishing site, exhibiting aggressive behavior that warrants attention. With a VirusTotal score of 3 out of 95, it raises red flags for potential fraudulent activities. The domain impersonates legitimate services, thereby posing risks to users. Additionally, this domain was flagged by external scanners, contributing to its malicious reputation.

Registered just three days ago through NAMECHEAP INC in Iceland, kienetiq.xyz was hosted on an IP address of 199.188.205.20 and has already accumulated a blocklist count of 1. The short lifespan and current dead status indicate the domain was likely created for swift exploitation before being taken down. The infrastructure suggests it may have been set up as part of a transient phishing operation.

PhishDestroy has successfully reported this domain and ensured it is now inactive. Continuous monitoring is in place to prevent any resurgence of this threat or similar domains in the future.

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 →
