stakingsrewards[.]cfd

Analysis of stakingsrewards.cfd, first observed on July 23, 2026, identifies the domain as a brand‑impersonation site targeting Google. The domain was registered through Dynadot LLC on 17 November 2025 and currently resolves to the IP address 172.253.63.104, which belongs to AS15169 Google LLC in the United States. DNS resolution is served by Cloudflare nameservers brenna.ns.cloudflare.com and hassan.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate is present, indicating the site is served over plain HTTP.

The page title returned by the server is “Google”, matching the declared brand target. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0 / 100 reflects a highly suspicious reputation. VirusTotal has recorded 14 detections out of 95 scanning engines, and the domain appears on a single security blocklist. It has also been listed by the PhishDestroy blocking service.

The site’s status is reported as offline at the time of analysis. Observable indicators therefore confirm that the domain was being used for brand impersonation, likely to harvest credentials or deliver malicious payloads, although the exact payload and page content have not been captured. Defenders should add the IP address 172.253.63.104 and the domain name to block lists, enforce DNS sink‑holing for the associated Cloudflare nameservers, and monitor for newly registered domains using the same registrar and similar naming patterns. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain after any re‑appearance is recommended to capture evolving threat indicators.
