www-llnk[.]net

The domain www-llnk.net was registered on November 01, 2025 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is currently taken offline. Technical analysis shows the site resolved to IP address 198.202.211.1, which is hosted in the United States and belongs to AS209242 Cloudflare London, LLC. The SSL certificate presented by the server is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 designation, indicating a legitimate certificate chain but offering no assurance of benign intent. HTTP responses returned a 403 status code, suggesting that the server is configured to deny access to unauthorized requests, a pattern sometimes observed in malicious infrastructure that restricts public probing. The page title retrieved from the site reads "Chainlink: The Industry-Standard Oracle Platform," yet the domain is listed as impersonating the cryptocurrency lending platform Aave, and the overall scam classification is recorded as a Crypto Scam.

Front‑end technologies identified include AngularJS, jQuery, jQuery CDN, Cloudflare Browser Insights, and the use of HTTP/3, all delivered via Cloudflare’s edge network. Reputation data shows the domain appears on three security blocklists and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating that multiple threat‑intelligence feeds have flagged it as malicious. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 further underscores its high risk. VirusTotal analysis reports four out of ninety‑five security vendors flagging the domain, providing additional corroboration of malicious activity.

While the exact payload or user‑interaction mechanisms have not been publicly disclosed, the convergence of brand impersonation, a misleading page title, low trust scores, and multiple blocklist entries suggests the domain was used to lure cryptocurrency users into fraudulent interactions. Defenders should continue to block www-llnk.net at perimeter firewalls and DNS filters, monitor the associated IP 198.202.211.
