The domain kinetiq.exchange was registered on November 21, 2025 through Tucows Domains Inc. and is currently active, hosting a phishing campaign that masquerades as a cryptocurrency exchange. DNS resolution points to the IP address 188.114.96.3, and the domain is served from Cloudflare nameservers bethany.ns.cloudflare.com and justin.ns.cloudflare.com. VirusTotal analysis shows that three out of ninety‑one security vendors flag the domain as malicious, indicating that detection is emerging but not yet universal. The infrastructure suggests a typical fast‑flux style setup, leveraging Cloudflare's CDN to obscure the true hosting location and to provide resilience against takedown attempts. No additional technical artifacts such as SSL certificate details, hosting ASN, or observed payloads have been published, leaving the exact phishing content and victim targeting unknown. Defenders should block any outbound connections to kinetiq.exchange, monitor DNS queries for this domain, and consider adding the domain to threat intelligence feeds and URL filtering policies. Given the high risk rating and active status, rapid containment and user awareness campaigns are advised to mitigate potential credential harvesting or financial loss.

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.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.

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.
