ecobrokercapital[.]com

The domain ecobrokercapital.com was registered on 24 December 2024 through Internet Domain Service BS Corp. and is presently taken offline. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 198.23.206.242, which belongs to AS36352 (HostPapa) and is geolocated in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are ns1.sterkhost.com and ns2.sterkhost.com. No TLS certificate is presented, indicating the site is served only over HTTP. The page title returned from the live host, before takedown, reads “Eco Broker Capital | Your Trusted Bitcoin Mining and Investment Company”, suggesting a crypto‑investment narrative. The domain explicitly impersonates the Ethereum brand, aligning with the recorded scam type of “Crypto Scam”.

Reputation services flag the domain as highly suspicious. Twelve of ninety‑five VirusTotal‑integrated security vendors reported detections, Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, and Scamadviser gave a trust rating of 1 / 100. The domain appears on one public blocklist and has been added to the PhishDestroy blocklist, confirming active mitigation by at least one anti‑phishing organization. The overall risk rating is elevated.

Evidence gaps remain: the exact malicious payload, if any, and the full set of URLs hosted under the domain have not been captured, and the current HTTP response code is unavailable because the site is offline. Analysts should continue to monitor the IP address for any re‑hosting activity, enforce blocking of the domain and its associated IP at perimeter defenses, and add the domain to internal threat‑intel feeds. Correlation with other Ethereum‑impersonation incidents may reveal shared infrastructure. Ongoing observation of the registrar and hosting provider for future registrations can aid early detection of similar campaigns.
