coincheap[.]trade

Analysis of coincheap.trade shows a newly registered domain (creation date 26 February 2026) hosted on a Dutch server (IP 193.23.118.133, NetLocation LSW Cust Ultahost). The domain resolves to four identical Ultahost nameservers (ns1‑ns4.ultahost.com) and presents a valid Let's Encrypt certificate (R12). The site returns HTTP 200 and is built on Nginx with client‑side libraries jQuery, jQuery Migrate and Font Awesome. The page title – "CoinCheap – Turning Volatility into Victory: Your Crypto Arbitrage Playground!" – and the listed scam type of "Investment Scam" indicate a cryptocurrency‑focused fraud campaign that promises arbitrage returns. VirusTotal scans flag the domain in 13 of 91 security engines, and reputation services assign low trust scores (Scamadviser 6/100, Gridinsoft 0/100). The domain appears on one public blocklist and is already blocked by PhishDestroy. Current evidence confirms active malicious infrastructure, but the exact phishing workflow, credential capture mechanisms, and any associated command‑and‑control endpoints have not been disclosed. Defenders should add coincheap.trade to URL filtering and DNS block lists, monitor outbound connections to the associated IP, and consider sinkholing the address to disrupt traffic. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further payloads or credential‑stealing pages may be deployed behind the same front‑end.
