bonkcoin[.]today

The domain bonkcoin.today was registered on February 21, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The site presents a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, indicating a valid HTTPS handshake despite the underlying malicious intent. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.165.171, which is part of the Cloudflare network (AS13335). Both authoritative name servers, isla.ns.cloudflare.com and lochlan.ns.cloudflare.com, are hosted on Cloudflare, providing anonymity and rapid DNS resolution.

Network telemetry shows the service is hosted in the United States, consistent with the Cloudflare edge location. An HTTP request returns a 403 status code, suggesting the page is deliberately restricting direct access, a common technique used to evade automated scanners while still serving content to targeted victims. The page title returned by the server is “Nur einen Moment…”, a German phrase meaning “Just a moment…”, which does not reveal the intended victim brand or service.

Reputation services flag the domain as high risk. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, and VirusTotal reports that 4 of 95 security vendors have identified the domain as malicious. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The threat classification is recorded as generic_phishing, and the risk level is marked high.

Defenders should add bonkcoin.today to network deny lists and configure DNS filtering to block resolution. Monitoring of Cloudflare‑hosted IP ranges for similar indicators of compromise is advisable, as is the deployment of sinkholing or tarpitting for any HTTP requests that receive the 403 response. Continuous re‑evaluation of the domain’s status is recommended, given the active nature of the infrastructure and the presence of multiple independent blocklists.
