The domain bafybeihfskdedc3loqyhay4kdisuooqkay5uvdgrupky5bkmxtbxjvpmjq.ipfs.dweb.link was registered on November 29, 2021 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. and is hosted on an IPv6 address (2602:fea2:2::3) owned by AS40680 Protocol Labs in the United States. Cloudflare provides DNS resolution via the authoritative nameservers clarissa.ns.cloudflare.com and tate.ns.cloudflare.com, and the service is delivering content over HTTP/3. The site presents a TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (E7) and returns an HTTP 410 response, indicating that the resource is permanently gone.

Independent analysis by 15 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, and it appears on one public security blocklist. PhishDestroy has also listed the domain as blocked, and the Scamadviser trust score is a low 1 out of 100, reinforcing the perception of high risk. The limited detection footprint suggests that the site was likely used for a short‑lived generic phishing campaign before being taken offline.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter defenses, monitor the associated IPv6 address for any re‑activation, and add the domain to internal blocklists. Because the site is no longer serving content, investigators should focus on gathering forensic artefacts from any prior network traffic that referenced the domain, and consider correlating the observed IP and ASN with other known phishing infrastructure to identify potential reuse patterns. Ongoing vigilance is recommended, as the underlying hosting provider (Protocol Labs) may be leveraged for future campaigns.
