safepaybtc[.]org

The domain safepaybtc.org was registered on February 21, 2026 through Tucows Domains Inc. and is currently listed as offline. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP address 185.165.170.10, which belongs to AS200651 FlokiNET ehf. The hosting environment runs Nginx and advertises HTTP Strict Transport Security, but no SSL certificate is presented for the site. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy.

Reputation checking by Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating a highly untrusted status. VirusTotal scans recorded a single detection out of 95 security vendors, confirming that at least one vendor identified malicious activity associated with the domain. The authoritative name servers are ns1.flokinet.net, ns2.flokinet.net, ns3.flokinet.net, and ns4.flokinet.net. The page title returned from the site, "SafePayBTC | Bitcoin Escrow Payment Service," and the declared brand target of Bitcoin indicate that the infrastructure was intended to impersonate a Bitcoin escrow service, a classic crypto‑scam vector.

While the site is no longer reachable, the presence of the domain on blocklists and the low trust score suggest that it was actively used for fraudulent purposes. Defenders should continue to monitor for residual artifacts such as DNS queries to the listed name servers, and ensure that any inbound traffic to 185.165.170.10 is blocked at network perimeter controls. Updating local blocklists with the domain and its associated IP, as well as sharing the observed indicators with threat sharing platforms, will help mitigate potential reuse of this infrastructure by related campaigns.
