ethxq[.]com

Ethxq.com was registered on 25 October 2025 through eName Technology Co.,Ltd. The domain resolves to 104.21.82.89, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and geolocated to the United States. The authoritative nameservers are rajeev.ns.cloudflare.com and saanvi.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate is presented, indicating the site is served over plain HTTP. The only visible page title is "ETH 2.0", and the intelligence set marks the site as impersonating the Ethereum brand. Google Safe Browsing classifies the domain as a social engineering threat, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100.

VirusTotal analysis shows that 15 of 95 scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is specifically listed by PhishDestroy as a blocked entry. The overall risk rating is high and the site’s current status is offline. The evidence points to a crypto‑related scam that leverages the Ethereum brand to lure victims, likely through deceptive URLs or social media posts that promise access to "ETH 2.0".

Because the site is hosted behind Cloudflare, attribution of the underlying operator is obscured, and the lack of an SSL certificate further reduces confidence in the site's authenticity. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor DNS queries for the resolved IP, and add the domain to internal blacklists. Incident response teams should also advise users to avoid any unsolicited communications referencing "ETH 2.0" that direct traffic to ethxq.com, and to verify the legitimacy of any Ethereum‑related offers through official channels. Ongoing telemetry should be collected to detect any re‑hosting attempts that may use the same domain name or similar branding.
