bestcryptoexchanges[.]guru

The domain bestcryptoexchanges.guru was registered on 21 February 2026 through Global Domain Group LLC. It resolves to the IPv4 address 37.27.63.3, which belongs to the Hetzner Online GmbH network (AS24940) located in Finland. The authoritative name servers are ns39.link-host.net and ns40.link-host.net, and the zone includes MX records pointing to mail.bestcryptoexchanges.guru (priority 10) and a secondary host (priority 20). The web service returns HTTP 403 for the root request and presents a page title that advertises “SimpleSwap | Cryptocurrency Exchange | Easy way to swap BTC to ETH, XRP, LTC, EOS, XLM”, indicating a fake exchange front‑end. The server stack reports Nginx and a Liveinternet analytics component. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt R13 certificate, providing TLS encryption but offering no additional trust signals.

Reputation services assign a Gridinsoft score of 0 / 100 and a Scamadviser score of 46 / 100, reflecting a high likelihood of malicious intent. The domain appears on four external blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, ScamSniffer and SEAL, and has been flagged by two of ninety‑three VirusTotal scanners. The overall risk rating is high, and the campaign is classified as a “Fake Exchange” impersonating the brand “base”. Analysis of the infrastructure suggests the operator relies on a reputable hosting provider, which may obscure attribution but does not mitigate the phishing risk. The presence of Liveinternet suggests possible traffic monitoring, while the 403 response may be a tactic to evade automated crawlers.

Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy layers, add the IP address 37.27.63.3 to deny lists, and monitor for any outbound connections to the identified name servers. Email filters should be updated to flag messages originating from the listed MX host.
