Ref

Score
65/100

This site, ligthninglabs.engineering, impersonates the Bitcoin brand to present itself as a "Lightning Labs Wallet - Fast, Secure Bitcoin Payments" service. It is classified as a cryptocurrency scam, posing the threat of credential theft or financial fraud by tricking users into providing sensitive wallet information or sending funds.

Technical analysis confirms malicious status. VirusTotal recorded 4 detections out of 95 vendors, flagged by Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, and SOCRadar. The domain is registered under NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, with a creation date of 2026-02-21. It resolves to IP 216.150.1.1 (US, AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.) and uses Let's Encrypt SSL certificate R12. Nameservers are jessica.ns.cloudflare.com and chuck.ns.cloudflare.com.

The site is currently offline. GridinSoft trust score is 0/100, and it appears on 1 blocklist. Risk level is high due to active impersonation and low trust rating, though the immediate threat is mitigated by the site's offline status. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain.

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.
