usocksfinance[.]xyz

On July 23, 2026 the domain usocksfinance.xyz was observed as offline but remains listed as a high‑risk generic phishing indicator. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is hosted behind Cloudflare’s network (ASN 13335) with the IP address 188.114.96.3 located in the United States. DNS resolution points to Cloudflare name servers malcolm.ns.cloudflare.com and sydney.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site presented the page title "Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare" when it was reachable. The TLS certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 certificate profile, confirming the use of a valid HTTPS endpoint.

Detected web technologies include HTTP/3, HSTS, and the Cloudflare edge platform. VirusTotal scans recorded 10 positive detections out of 93 security vendors, indicating that a minority of scanners flagged the domain as malicious. Additional defensive feeds have listed the domain on three independent blocklists and it is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The combination of recent creation, use of reputable CDN infrastructure, a legitimate‑looking SSL certificate, and the presence on multiple threat‑sharing platforms suggests a purposeful attempt to exploit the domain’s credibility for phishing.

No further content analysis is available because the site is offline, leaving the exact lure or credential‑capture mechanism unknown. Defenders should continue to enforce DNS and web‑gateway blocks for usocksfinance.xyz, monitor for any re‑hosting attempts, and consider adding the domain to internal allow‑list exclusions only after thorough validation. Ongoing watch‑list correlation with the noted blocklists and VirusTotal updates is recommended to capture any future changes in the threat posture.
