blacksheepsurf.shop is a fraudulent e‑commerce site that pretends to be a local surf‑shop offering wetsuits and surfboards. It targets shoppers looking for surf gear, especially those searching for Galway‑based retailers. PhishDestroy first recorded the domain on 2026-10-17. The site is still live as of the last check on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The page title advertises “Galway's Online Surf Shop | Wetsuits, Surfboards,” luring buyers into a checkout flow that captures payment details and personal information. Victims are typically asked to enter credit‑card numbers, billing addresses, and sometimes phone numbers, which are then harvested for fraudulent transactions. Because the shop never ships any goods, the financial loss is limited to the amount paid and potential identity theft.
Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-19 and flagged it as malicious in 10 of 92 engines, including AlphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G‑Data and Gridinsoft. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically marked the site as a fake shop. PhishDestroy added the domain to its blocklist, and the Open Threat Exchange has four pulses referencing it. No additional detections were reported from other public blocklists.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-06-13 through Dynadot Inc. It is hosted on IP address 62.233.61.10, which belongs to the Malakmadze Web LLC network in Georgia, United States. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt / YE1 TLS certificate for HTTPS connections. All infrastructure details are consistent with the current live status.
What to do
Anyone who entered payment or personal data on blacksheepsurf.shop should immediately contact their bank or card issuer to dispute unauthorized charges and consider changing passwords on related accounts. Monitor credit reports for suspicious activity and enable fraud alerts where possible. Security teams should block the domain at the firewall, DNS resolver and web proxy, and add it to internal threat‑intel feeds. Continue to watch for related indicators such as the hosting IP and registrar in future investigations.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
