monero-chan[.]net

Monero-Chan.net is a recent phishing domain impersonating privacy-focused platforms with a misleading title suggesting it is an open-source solution. It currently has a low VirusTotal score of 2/95, indicating a notable risk to potential victims. The domain is designed to attract users interested in Monero, a well-known cryptocurrency, which raises concerns about cryptocurrency phishing activities.

Registered only three days ago with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED in Cyprus, the domain is hosted on an IP address (188.114.96.3) that has been flagged as suspicious. With three existing blocklist entries, the domain shows clear indicators of malicious intent. The short registration period often correlates with tactics used in phishing schemes, aiming to minimize detection time.

As of now, Monero-Chan.net remains active on the internet. PhishDestroy is actively monitoring this domain and has reported it to relevant authorities to prevent potential user exploitation. Immediate action is being taken to ensure it is added to security blacklists to protect users from this threat.
