users-wormhole[.]xyz

The domain users-wormhole.xyz was registered on March 23, 2026 through Dynadot LLC. It resolves to the Cloudflare edge address 188.114.96.3, which is located in Canada and is operated by Cloudflare, Inc. The domain is protected by a Let’s Encrypt certificate (E7) and is served over HTTP/3.

Network analysis shows the authoritative nameservers are aldo.ns.cloudflare.com and gina.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming full Cloudflare proxying. An HTTP request returns a 403 status code, while the page title reported by the server reads “504: Gateway time-out”. This mismatch suggests deliberate denial of access or a misconfiguration designed to generate a timeout page, a technique often employed to hinder automated scanning.

The site is classified as a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting the Wormhole brand. It appears on three security blocklists and has been flagged by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal records five out of ninety‑five security vendors labeling the domain as malicious, and the Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, indicating a high confidence of malicious intent.

Defenders should immediately block users-wormhole.xyz at the DNS or proxy layer and consider adding the IP address 188.114.96.3 to outbound deny lists, recognizing that Cloudflare may host unrelated services on the same address. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for this domain and its associated nameservers is advised. Updating detection rules to capture HTTP/3 traffic with 403 responses and the specific page‑title pattern can improve early identification of similar impersonation attempts.
