asset-auth[.]io

asset-auth.io was observed targeting users of the Vulcan platform, as indicated by the page title "Vulcan Account | Vulcan". The domain was registered on 21 February 2026 and is currently offline. DNS resolution points to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) and is geolocated in the United States. The site presented an SSL certificate identified as "WE1".

Multiple defensive services have flagged the domain: PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura, and the domain appears on five independent security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis shows that three out of ninety‑three scanning engines returned a malicious verdict, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing activity. The limited telemetry indicates that the infrastructure relies on Cloudflare's network, a common choice for fast‑changing malicious sites, and that the domain’s lifecycle is short, having been created only a few months before detection.

No additional evidence such as HTTP response codes, content hashes, or sandbox execution results is available, leaving the exact phishing payload and credential‑harvesting mechanisms undocumented. Defenders should add 188.114.97.3 to network deny lists, monitor for DNS queries to asset-auth.io, and ensure that email filters block messages containing references to "Vulcan Account" or the domain itself. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and inclusion in threat‑intelligence feeds are recommended to capture any future re‑activations or related campaigns.
