spax70p-cointelegraph[.]com

PhishDestroy identifies spax70p-cointelegraph.com as an active crypto drainer impersonating CoinTelegraph, currently flagged with an elevated risk level. This domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, with a Google Trust Services SSL certificate in place. The domain was created on May 09, 2026.

This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating minimal but present detection of its malicious intent. The domain’s infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare’s network, which is often leveraged by threat actors to obscure origin and evade takedowns. The SSL certificate from Google Trust Services suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, while the IP address 188.114.97.3 has been associated with other malicious activities, though no additional blocklist counts were provided in current datasets. The recent creation date (May 09, 2026) suggests this is a newly deployed threat, likely targeting cryptocurrency users under the guise of CoinTelegraph, a reputable crypto news outlet.

Given the elevated risk level and confirmed crypto drainer functionality, PhishDestroy advises users to avoid interacting with spax70p-cointelegraph.com entirely. If you encountered this domain via email, social media, or search engines, do not click any links or download files. Verify the legitimacy of CoinTelegraph’s domains directly through their official website (cointelegraph.com) or trusted sources. Report this domain to your security team or via platforms like VirusTotal and URLVoid to aid in collective threat intelligence. Consider using browser extensions that block known malicious domains and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all crypto-related accounts to mitigate potential credential theft or unauthorized transactions.
