cointelegraph[.]live

Analysis indicates that cointelegraph.live is a phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users, currently offline as of July 24, 2026. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NameCheap, Inc., and resolves to IP address 66.29.141.141, hosted on AS22612 (Namecheap, Inc.) in the United States. Nameservers are set to dns1.namecheaphosting.com and dns2.namecheaphosting.com. The SSL certificate is issued by Sectigo Limited under the Sectigo RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA. The page title, 'Qavlix Stax Rolls Out Liquid-Staking v2 – Higher Yields, Near-Instant Withdrawals,' suggests an attempt to impersonate a cryptocurrency news or staking platform, though no direct evidence confirms this as a known brand or service.

The domain appears on two security blocklists and is blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing its classification as malicious. VirusTotal reports two detections from security vendors, though the specific nature of these detections is not detailed in available intelligence. Infrastructure analysis reveals no evidence of a legitimate association with Cointelegraph or any verified crypto-staking service.

The domain’s creation date, hosting provider, and blocklist status align with patterns observed in phishing campaigns. Defenders should treat this domain as compromised and include it in blocklists or monitoring systems. Further investigation into associated IP addresses, SSL certificate history, and potential ties to other malicious domains is recommended to assess the broader campaign scope. No additional content or kit analysis is available at this time.
