dapps-sphare[.]42web[.]io

The domain dapps-sphare.42web.io was registered on 21 February 2026 via NameCheap, Inc. and is currently flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing site targeting DeFi users. The site presents a generic DNS resolution error page with the title “DNS Resolution Error - Domain Not Found, Or Domain not added to hosting account”, yet the HTTP response code is 200, suggesting intentional masking of malicious intent. Threat intelligence assigns a risk level of high and the domain remains active as of 12 July 2026.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 185.27.134.19, which is hosted in the United Kingdom and belongs to AS34119 Wildcard UK Limited. The authoritative nameservers are ns1.infinityfree.com and ns2.infinityfree.com, indicating use of the free‑hosting provider InfinityFree. The TLS certificate is issued by ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA, a service often employed by short‑lived malicious sites. Gridinsoft’s trust score for the IP is 0 / 100, and the domain appears on five security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura. VirusTotal reports three of ninety‑five scanning engines flagging the domain, providing additional confirmation of suspicious activity.

The current page content consists solely of a generic DNS error, so the exact phishing payload or credential‑stealing forms have not been observed. This could indicate a placeholder used while the underlying malicious infrastructure is prepared, or a dynamic site that serves content only after specific triggers. Defenders should block the domain and its resolving IP at perimeter defenses, add the listed blocklists to their web filtering solutions, and monitor any DNS changes or new subdomains under the same registration. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for updates, and any incidents involving DeFi credential compromise should be correlated with traffic to this host.
