apeverse[.]me

On 24 July 2026 the domain apeverse.me was observed as part of a Wallet Connect Abuse phishing campaign. The domain was registered on 16 December 2025 through Global Domain Group LLC and resolves to the IPv4 address 23.177.185.137, which is announced by AS400992 (ZhouyiSat Communications) and geolocated to the United States. DNS resolution is delegated to Cloudflare’s authoritative name servers adam.ns.cloudflare.com and danica.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate was presented when the host was queried, indicating that the site operated without HTTPS. VirusTotal scans returned two positive detections out of ninety‑five submitted security vendors, confirming that at least two independent scanners identified malicious behavior.

The domain appears on a single external blocklist and is listed by the PhishDestroy service as blocked, reinforcing the malicious classification. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reflecting an extremely low reputation. The only identified malicious component is the Wallet Connect Abuse kit, which is commonly used to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials. No additional evidence such as page titles, Safe Browsing verdicts, or Open Threat Exchange references were available at the time of analysis.

The service was taken offline before the snapshot was captured, so HTTP response codes could not be verified. Given the combination of a recent registration, a low‑reputation hosting ASN, detection by multiple vendors, and confirmation by commercial blocklists, the infrastructure should be considered hostile. Defenders are advised to add 23.177.185.137 and apeverse.me to network deny lists, monitor outbound connections for attempts to contact the domain, and ensure that any internal tools that interact with Wallet Connect APIs enforce strict validation. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended in case the domain is re‑registered or the infrastructure is resurrected.
