blockchain-kyc[.]com

This investigation concerns the domain blockchain-kyc.com, which was registered on 21 February 2026 through Name SRS AB. The domain resolves to the IPv6 address 2a06:98c1:3120::3, hosted by Cloudflare (ASN 13335) with its infrastructure located in the United States. Nameservers henry.ns.cloudflare.com and janet.ns.cloudflare.com confirm the use of Cloudflare’s DNS service. No TLS certificate is presented, indicating that HTTPS is not available for the site. The only observed page title is “Blockchain – Blockchain-kyc”, and the listed scam type is “Wallet/Seed Phishing”.

The domain explicitly impersonates Google, and Google Safe Browsing classifies it as a social‑engineering threat. Independent reputation services assign extremely low trust scores: Scamadviser 1/100 and Gridinsoft 0/100. VirusTotal analysis shows that ten out of ninety‑five antivirus engines flagged the domain, and it appears on one external security blocklist. PhishDestroy has also listed the domain as blocked. Current measurements indicate the domain is offline, but the earlier artifacts suggest it was actively used for credential‑or seed‑harvesting campaigns targeting users who might associate “blockchain” with cryptocurrency services.

The lack of a certificate, combined with the short lifespan (registered less than five months before takedown), points to a rapid‑deployment fraud operation. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact phishing landing page content, the presence of any malicious payloads, and whether the same infrastructure is reused for other brand‑impersonation sites. Defenders should continue to block the IPv6 address and associated Cloudflare name servers, monitor for fresh domains registered by the same registrar or using similar naming patterns, and enforce strict user education around unsolicited requests for blockchain wallets or Google‑related authentication. Incident response teams should also query threat‑intel feeds for any resurgence of the same indicator set.
