claim-near[.]com

The domain claim-near.com has been identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically designed to mimic the NEAR blockchain ecosystem. This malicious domain is currently offline, having been taken down after security researchers flagged its fraudulent activity. The page title "NEAR | Blockchains, Abstracted" was used to deceive visitors into believing they were accessing legitimate NEAR resources, making it a classic example of a crypto drainer targeting cryptocurrency users.

Technical analysis reveals that claim-near.com was created on February 21, 2026, and registered through NameSilo, LLC. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.188.79 and lacks any SSL certificate, a significant red flag for any legitimate service. VirusTotal data shows that 6 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious, and it appears on 3 security blocklists. Additionally, AlienVault OTX recorded this domain in one threat intelligence pulse, indicating active monitoring by the security community. These indicators collectively point to a high-risk asset designed for credential theft and cryptocurrency draining.

As the domain is currently offline, the immediate risk of interaction is reduced, but users should remain vigilant. PhishDestroy recommends that anyone who may have visited claim-near.com change their NEAR wallet credentials immediately and enable two-factor authentication. Never trust domains that impersonate well-known brands, especially those lacking SSL certificates and appearing on blocklists. For ongoing protection, use real-time threat intelligence feeds and browser extensions that block known malicious domains.
