ambcoin[.]top

Analysis confirms that ambcoin.top was actively used as a Google brand impersonation site. The domain resolves to the Cloudflare‑hosted IP 188.114.96.3, located in the United States and announced under ASN 13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.). Registration data show creation on 21 February 2026 through the registrar Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and the domain is delegated to the Cloudflare nameservers margaret.ns.cloudflare.com and shane.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate was presented, indicating the site operated over plain HTTP. The page title returned during the brief crawl was “AMBCOIN”, which does not contain Google branding, but the threat classification and the Google Safe Browsing flag for social engineering confirm a targeted impersonation attempt.

VirusTotal scans recorded 13 positive detections out of 93 participating vendors, reinforcing the malicious nature of the host. AlienVault OTX cited the domain in a single threat pulse, and the site appears on three external blocklists. Independent blocking services—PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL—have already added the domain to their deny lists. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, indicating a complete lack of reputation. The current operational status is offline, so no live HTTP response can be captured.

Consequently, the exact payload, credential‑stealing form, or redirect chain remains unverified. Defenders should nonetheless treat the domain as high‑risk. Recommendations include adding 188.114.96.3 to deny‑lists, enforcing DNS‑based blocklisting of ambcoin.top, and monitoring for newly registered domains that resolve to the same Cloudflare edge IP range or use the same registrar. Continuous ingestion of threat intel feeds that reference this domain, as as updating URL filtering policies to flag any Google‑related URLs originating from ambcoin.top, will help mitigate potential re‑use of the infrastructure.
