Analysis of popcat.finance indicates the site was used to host a fake airdrop phishing campaign. The page title observed during the scan reads “Popcat Airdrop: Claim Tokens”, which aligns with the classified scam type “Fake Airdrop”. The domain is registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and resolves to the IP address 172.67.203.22, belonging to AS13335 Cloudflare in the United States. DNS resolution shows the authoritative nameservers lee.ns.cloudflare.com and savanna.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the Cloudflare hosting environment. TLS negotiation uses a certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, providing a valid HTTPS connection but offering no assurance of legitimacy.
Infrastructure fingerprints include Cloudflare’s edge network and support for HTTP/3, both typical of legitimate services but also commonly abused by malicious actors. Threat intelligence sources have flagged the domain: AlienVault OTX lists the domain in one pulse, and two independent blocklists – PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer – have added it. VirusTotal scans report nine of ninety‑five security vendors flagging the site as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion. The site appears on two security blocklists overall.
The domain’s current status is offline, which limits real‑time verification of the page content; no additional visual or form details are available from the collected data. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network and endpoint layers, monitor for any re‑hosting on alternate IP addresses, and update URL filtering rules to include the associated IP range and Cloudflare nameservers. Because the certificate is otherwise valid, reliance on SSL alone is insufficient; reputation‑based controls remain essential. Ongoing observation of OTX and blocklist updates is recommended to capture any future activity.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

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.

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.
