chainopera-hive[.]live

chainopera-hive.live is a phishing domain that impersonates Google, detected early in the threat lifecycle with zero VirusTotal detections. This highlights its freshness, as it exploits the typical 24-72 hour gap before antivirus databases are updated. PhishDestroy's proactive monitoring flagged this domain, demonstrating its capability to identify threats before they propagate widely.

The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and hosted on IP 188.114.97.3, managed by Cloudflare, Inc. Despite its early detection, it was already included in one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, which underscores the importance of rapid identification and response to such threats.

Although chainopera-hive.live is currently offline, its initial activity targeted users by masquerading as a trusted brand, Google. The use of a legitimate SSL issuer, Google Trust Services, further attempted to deceive potential victims into believing the site was authentic. This tactic is common in phishing schemes, aiming to harvest sensitive information from unsuspecting users.

The domain's platform risk score of 58 out of 100 indicates a moderate level of threat, suggesting that while the site is inactive now, similar domains may emerge. Continuous vigilance and early detection are crucial in mitigating the risks posed by such phishing operations. PhishDestroy's early detection pipeline plays a vital role in identifying these threats before they can cause significant harm.
