fengzhao[.]blog

Analysis of fengzhao.blog confirms its classification as a high-risk crypto scam site targeting users of the Across protocol. The domain, registered on April 1, 2025, through Go Daddy, LLC, was flagged for social engineering by Google Safe Browsing and is currently offline. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolved to IP 128.241.227.221 (AS213802, Tianfeng (Hong Kong) Communications Limited), a hosting provider with no SSL certificate in place. The page title 'Bitcoin' and the scam type 'Crypto Scam' in available intelligence align with the brand target 'across,' indicating an attempt to impersonate the Across protocol for fraudulent purposes.

Security vendor detections include 16 flags from 93 engines on VirusTotal, though the specific nature of these detections remains unverified. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and is blocked by PhishDestroy, while Gridinsoft assigns it a trust score of 0/100. Nameservers ns09.domaincontrol.com and ns10.domaincontrol.com are consistent with Go Daddy’s infrastructure, though this alone does not indicate malicious intent. No evidence of a phishing kit or further technical artifacts has been publicly documented.

Defenders should treat this domain as confirmed malicious infrastructure. While the site is offline, its registration details and hosting history suggest it may resurface under the same or similar domains. Organizations are advised to block the domain and its associated IP at the network level, monitor for related infrastructure, and alert users to the impersonation of Across protocol. Further investigation into the hosting provider’s role in facilitating such activity may be warranted.
