Registered on April 17, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, the domain resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1. The page title is 'RODE | Predict. Convict. Earn.' Analysis of the infrastructure reveals the use of Vercel hosting and HSTS for transport security, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.

The domain appears on two security blocklists and is blocked by PhishDestroy and BLP-Malware. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, confirming high suspicion. While the exact phishing scheme—whether credential harvesting, financial fraud, or another type—has not been publicly detailed, the combination of recent registration, low trust score, multi-source threat detection, and active status strongly suggests ongoing malicious operation.

Users encountering this domain should avoid interaction and report it to their security team.
