consensys-link[.]com

On July 24 2026, consensys-link.com was observed as a generic phishing site that has been taken offline. The page title returned by the server was "Consensys", indicating an attempt to impersonate the blockchain development firm Consensys. The domain was registered on 17 October 2025 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and uses Cloudflare’s DNS service, with authoritative nameservers howard.ns.cloudflare.com and kinsley.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to IP address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and is geolocated in the United States. The web server presented a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the “WE1” profile, confirming the use of a legitimate‑looking HTTPS connection. Security scanners have flagged the domain.

VirusTotal reports that six out of ninety‑five AV engines marked the site as malicious, and the domain appears on one public blocklist. PhishDestroy has already blocked the host, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting extreme suspicion. Technical fingerprinting showed the site ran Vue.js and responded over HTTP/3, both commonly used in modern phishing kits. The presence of Cloudflare and HTTP/3 does not, by itself, indicate malicious intent, but combined with the low trust score and multiple vendor detections it strengthens the risk assessment. No public samples of the landing page content have been released, so the exact visual spoofing or credential‑collection mechanisms remain unknown. The specific phishing kit, if any, has not been identified, and no additional infrastructure such as command‑and‑control servers or drop sites have been linked to the IP address.

Defenders should add consensys-link.com to deny‑list rules, monitor DNS queries for the domain and its associated nameservers, and block any outbound connections to 188.114.97.3. Email gateways should flag messages that reference the domain or contain links that resolve to it.
