88st[.]vip

This domain, 88st.vip, has been confirmed as a brand impersonation phishing site specifically targeting the Across protocol. Analysis indicates the domain was actively spoofing the legitimate Across platform, a cross-chain bridge service, to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information or transferring assets under false pretenses. The site is currently offline, but prior activity and infrastructure details warrant continued monitoring and mitigation efforts. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 08, 2024, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolved to the IP address 104.21.78.82, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335), which is commonly leveraged to obfuscate malicious infrastructure. The SSL certificate was issued by Cloudflare TLS Issuing ECC CA 3, a legitimate but often abused provider for phishing campaigns. At the time of detection, 21 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, with Google Safe Browsing explicitly categorizing it as phishing. The domain also appeared on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious nature. The page title, 'TK-Store | buy, sell and discover on TK,' suggests an attempt to mimic a marketplace or transactional platform, aligning with tactics used to exploit users of decentralized finance (DeFi) services. The domain's current offline status does not eliminate the risk, as threat actors frequently reactivate or repurpose infrastructure. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address (104.21.78.82) at the network perimeter. Users who may have interacted with the site should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions, rotate credentials, and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions. Security teams should correlate logs for visits to 88st.vip and inspect endpoints for signs of compromise. Given the domain's recent creation and Cloudflare hosting, additional related domains may emerge; proactive monitoring of newly registered domains with similar naming patterns or registrar associations is recommended.
