allocation-tea[.]xyz

The domain allocation-tea.xyz was registered on February 21, 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure (AS13335). DNS resolution points to IP address 188.114.96.3, which resolves to a Cloudflare edge node located in the United States. The site presented a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, indicating the use of a valid, publicly trusted certificate chain. The only visible content captured before the takedown was the page title “Earn rewards for your open-source software contributions,” implying an attempt to entice open‑source contributors with a reward scheme.

Five of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain as malicious, and it appears on one external security blocklist. PhishDestroy has taken the domain offline, confirming that the site is no longer reachable. Technical analysis shows the presence of Cloudflare services and HTTP/3, consistent with a modern hosting configuration.

No additional payloads, credential‑harvesting forms, or targeted brand references have been observed, leaving the exact phishing vector and victim profile uncertain. Defenders should add allocation-tea.xyz to DNS and URL filtering blocks, incorporate the IP 188.114.96.3 into network deny lists, and update email security policies to flag any messages referencing the page title or similar reward‑based lures. Monitoring for new domains registered with the same registrar or employing comparable phrasing can help detect future campaigns that reuse this infrastructure.
