kilnstake[.]org

Analysis of kilnstake.org indicates that it is an active brand‑impersonation site targeting Cloudflare. The domain was registered on 21 February 2026 through Dynadot LLC and is served from the IP address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are ns1.dyna-ns.net and ns2.dyna-ns.net, and the site presents a valid Let’s Encrypt R12 certificate, suggesting TLS termination is correctly configured. HTTP responses return a 301 redirect, and the underlying technology stack includes Cloudflare services and HTTP/3 support. The page title returned by the server is "WINTERMUTE", and the site has been classified as a crypto‑scam in the intelligence feed.

Detection evidence shows that the domain is already blocked by the PhishDestroy feed and appears on one additional security blocklist. AlienVault OTX references the domain in a single pulse, and VirusTotal records ten of ninety‑three scanning engines flagging the domain as malicious. Independent reputation scoring is extremely low, with Gridinsoft assigning a trust score of 1 out of 100. The combination of a recent creation date, low trust rating, and multiple vendor detections suggests a high likelihood of malicious intent.

Uncertainty remains regarding the specific payload or user‑interaction flow, as no visual or content analysis is available beyond the page title. Defenders should therefore treat any traffic to kilnstake.org as suspicious. Recommended actions include adding the domain to outbound filtering rules, ensuring that DNS resolvers block resolution of the domain, and monitoring network logs for connections to 188.114.97.3. Incident response teams should also enrich alerts with the registrar and ASN information to aid attribution, and consider sharing the indicator with threat‑sharing communities to accelerate collective mitigation.
