brainrot[.]gate-cryptolist[.]com

The domain brainrot.gate-cryptolist.com was registered on 17 June 2024 through Key-Systems GmbH and is served by the Cloudflare authoritative nameservers dale.ns.cloudflare.com and vera.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3, an address belonging to Cloudflare’s edge network, which can obscure the true origin server and complicate attribution. VirusTotal has recorded 15 positive detections out of 91 scanned engines, indicating that a minority of security products have identified malicious behavior associated with the host. The domain is listed on a single external blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, confirming that at least one anti‑phishing vendor has taken concrete action against it.

The threat type is catalogued as generic phishing and the operational status is marked as active with an elevated risk rating. Publicly available intelligence does not include a page title, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or Safe Browsing verdicts, so the exact content and credential‑harvesting mechanisms remain unverified. Likewise, no additional attribution such as ASN, country, or associated malware kit has been disclosed.

Analysts should therefore treat the domain as a confirmed phishing infrastructure pending further content analysis. Defensive recommendations include adding the domain and its resolving IP to network‑level deny lists, configuring DNS sinkholing for the Cloudflare nameservers, and monitoring for any rapid DNS changes that may indicate a shift to alternative hosting. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised to capture evolving detection scores, and any observed payloads should be submitted to threat‑sharing platforms to enrich collective intelligence.
