persiangulftoken[.]io

This domain, persiangulftoken.io, is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat targeting OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and remains active as of the report date, July 12, 2026. It resolves to IP address 103.224.212.109, hosted in Australia by Trellian Pty. Limited. The site returns an HTTP 200 status and uses modern technologies including Tailwind CSS and HTTP/3. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt with identifier YR2, a common choice for quickly establishing encrypted connections without rigorous validation. The page title, 'Persian Gulf Token | The Apex of Web3 Luxury', suggests the site presents itself as a cryptocurrency token or project, which aligns with the known scam type of cryptocurrency fraud. However, the exact visual content of the page has not been analysed, so it is uncertain whether the site directly mimics OKX login interfaces or merely uses the brand name in a deceptive context. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, indicating strong automated confidence that the domain is malicious. VirusTotal data shows that 1 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, and it appears on 1 security blocklist. PhishDestroy has already blocked the domain. It is uncertain why only a single vendor flags it; this may reflect low detection coverage or recent deployment. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed threat and ensure it is blocked at the DNS and email gateway levels. Users should be warned not to interact with the site or enter any credentials. Monitoring for subdomains or related infrastructure under the same IP or registrar is advisable. Investigators should check for any associated phishing kits or certificate transparency logs around the creation date to identify broader campaign activity. The domain's registration age of less than five months and the specific impersonation of a high-value brand like OKX indicate a focused, likely financially motivated operation.
