crediteasefinance[.]com[.]ng

crediteasefinance.com.ng is currently listed as a high‑risk generic phishing site. The domain was registered on 26 December 2024 through the registrar Leads Globe and remains active as of 12 July 2026. Its risk rating reflects the combination of recent creation, active hosting, and confirmation by multiple detection sources. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 163.61.188.9, which geolocates to the United States and is associated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) network segment. An SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (R13) is present, and HTTP requests receive a 200 OK response, indicating a live web server. Threat intelligence confirms that the domain is blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on one public security blocklist. VirusTotal scans show that five of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain, and AlienVault OTX reports a single pulse referencing the same indicator. These data points collectively support the phishing classification. Open questions remain regarding the specific phishing payload delivered to victims, the extent of compromised credentials, and any additional infrastructure tied to the IP address. No public evidence has surfaced linking the site to a broader campaign, and the limited number of detections suggests a possibly targeted operation. Defenders should add crediteasefinance.com.ng to URL filtering and DNS block lists, enforce outbound traffic inspection to the associated IP, and monitor TLS handshakes for the Let’s Encrypt certificate fingerprint. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as future observations may reveal expanded host activity or additional malicious indicators.
