join-hyena[.]trade

Analysis of join-hyena.trade as of July 24, 2026 indicates that the domain is associated with a high‑risk generic phishing campaign. The domain was registered on 11 December 2025 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is currently resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. DNS resolution is served by the Cloudflare name servers felipe.ns.cloudflare.com and val.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site is protected by an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 identifier, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s TLS termination. An HTTP request to the root returned a 403 status code, indicating that the site is presently inaccessible, and the overall status is listed as offline.

Threat intelligence from VirusTotal shows that 11 of 93 scanning engines have flagged the domain, reflecting a moderate level of detection consensus. The domain appears on six external blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, Polkadot, SEAL, and Enkrypt, which further corroborates its malicious reputation. Cloudflare is the sole technology identified, consistent with the observed infrastructure. While the page title is simply “join-hyena.trade,” no additional content analysis is available, and the specific phishing lure or targeted brand has not been disclosed.

Consequently, the exact victim profile and attack vector remain uncertain. Defenders should prioritize blocking DNS resolution for the domain and any associated IP address, enforce outbound filtering that drops traffic to Cloudflare‑hosted endpoints lacking a known business justification, and monitor logs for attempts to contact the listed blocklists. Given the recent creation date and the presence on multiple blocklists, it is advisable to treat any future re‑activation of the domain as malicious until a thorough content inspection can be performed.
