changenow[.]cfd

The domain changenow.cfd was registered on February 21, 2026 and is currently taken offline. Infrastructure analysis shows it resolves to the IP address 176.46.152.93, which belongs to AS44208 Farahoosh Dena PLC in Iran. The site presented the page title “Instant Cryptocurrency Exchange | Best Rates & Lowest Fees | ChangeNOW,” a phrasing that aligns with a cryptocurrency‑exchange theme and suggests an attempt to lure victims seeking low‑cost trading services. The domain is listed on one external security blocklist and is blocked by the PhishDestroy service, indicating that at least one reputable anti‑phishing organization has identified it as malicious.

Reputation services assign a low trust score: Scamadviser rates the domain 47 out of 100, while Gridinsoft gives it a zero‑score, reinforcing the perception of high risk. The SSL certificate is identified as R13, but no further details on certificate validity or issuer are provided. VirusTotal analysis reports that 11 of 93 scanning engines flag the domain, confirming that multiple security products have detected malicious characteristics, though the exact detection categories are not disclosed. The domain explicitly impersonates the Binance brand, as indicated in the intelligence file, and is categorized as a Crypto Scam.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any resurgence of activity from the associated IP range, and add the domain to internal blacklists. Because the site is offline, immediate threat delivery is paused, but the infrastructure—particularly the Iranian‑based IP—may be reused for future campaigns targeting cryptocurrency users. Threat‑hunting teams should query recent logs for traffic to 176.46.152.93, especially any HTTP(S) requests containing Binance‑related keywords, and verify that endpoint protection solutions have the latest signatures that include the 11 VirusTotal detections.
