Security engines reporting a detection: 4. Public blocklists reporting a match: 1. Exercise extreme caution — do not enter credentials or personal information.
On 12 July 2026, the domain sceptre.finance was observed hosting a brand‑impersonation site that advertises “Sceptre Liquid Staking | Stake on Flare and Partisia”. The domain resolves to the Cloudflare edge address 172.67.141.27, which is associated with ASN 13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) and is geolocated to the United States. Registration details show the domain is provisioned through Cloudflare, Inc. and uses the Cloudflare nameservers courtney.ns.cloudflare.com and tony.ns.cloudflare.com. HTTP requests return a 403 status code, and the site does not present a valid SSL certificate. Threat intelligence indicates the domain appears in a single AlienVault OTX pulse and is listed on two security blocklists (ScamSniffer and PhishDestroy). VirusTotal analysis recorded detections by 2 of 95 scanned vendors, and Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The reported scam type is a crypto‑related scam, although the exact malicious payload or credential‑harvesting mechanism has not been publicly disclosed. Current uncertainties include the absence of a publicly available page capture, which prevents verification of any credential‑collection forms or malicious scripts, and the lack of additional infrastructure indicators beyond the Cloudflare front‑end. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeters, update DNS filtering policies to include the two identified blocklists, and monitor for connections to the IP address 172.67.141.27. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised should further detections appear in additional sandboxes or threat feeds.
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.

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.

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.
