apedcoin[.]com

The domain apedcoin.com was registered on February 21, 2026 and is presently offline. Technical analysis shows that the domain resolves to the IP address 18.208.88.157, which belongs to Amazon.com, Inc. (AS14618) and is geolocated in the United States. The site presented a page title of “APED,” and the documented scam type is brand impersonation targeting Revolut.

The domain has been listed on three independent blocklists—PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, and Enkrypt—indicating that multiple threat‑intelligence feeds have flagged the infrastructure as malicious. Reputation scoring from Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the low‑trust assessment. The SSL certificate associated with the site is rated “E5,” a low security grade consistent with the other risk indicators.

VirusTotal scans recorded two detections out of ninety‑three security vendors, providing additional confirmation of malicious intent. Given the confirmed resolution to an Amazon‑hosted IP, defenders should consider adding both the domain and the hosting IP to deny‑list policies, monitor for any re‑activation of the domain, and watch for similar domains that resolve to the same address range. Continuous blocklist updates and endpoint protection rules that reference the observed indicators will help mitigate potential reuse of this infrastructure for future Revolut‑related brand‑impersonation campaigns.
