crypto-defi-wallet[.]com

crypto-defi-wallet.com was registered on March 09, 2025 through Dynadot LLC. The domain resolves to IP address 172.64.152.241, which belongs to Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and is geolocated in the United States. Authoritative name servers are ns1.dyna-ns.net and ns2.dyna-ns.net. The site presented a page with the title “Just a moment…”, a generic placeholder often used by automated redirection services. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12) and is currently valid, indicating the site was served over HTTPS. Reputation services rank the domain extremely low: Scamadviser reports a trust score of 1 out of 100, and Gridinsoft assigns a score of 0 out of 100.

VirusTotal analysis shows that eight of ninety‑five scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. The listed brand target is Coinbase, and the scam type is identified as a crypto scam, suggesting the domain was used to lure victims into a fraudulent cryptocurrency‑related workflow. As of the report date, the domain is listed as offline, which may indicate the operators have withdrawn the site or are preparing to move to a new infrastructure.

However, the underlying hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare) and the registrar remain unchanged, allowing adversaries to quickly re‑host a similar payload on a new hostname. Defenders should continue to block the domain and its associated IP address at perimeter filters, monitor for any resurrection of the host under a different subdomain, and update threat‑intel feeds with the observed indicators. Additional scrutiny of outbound traffic to Cloudflare‑hosted IP ranges that match the observed ASN, as well as inspection of TLS handshakes for Let’s Encrypt certificates issued after the domain’s creation date, can help detect re‑use. Organizations that protect Coinbase customers should educate users about unsolicited links that reference “crypto‑defi‑wallet.
