geno-pets[.]net

Analysis of the domain geno-pets.net indicates active brand impersonation targeting the Base cryptocurrency platform, classified as a crypto scam. The domain was registered on August 30, 2022, through Epik LLC and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.205.84, hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure (AS13335). Nameservers bingo.ns.cloudflare.com and devin.ns.cloudflare.com further confirm Cloudflare's role in its hosting. The site returns an HTTP 200 status and presents a page titled 'Genopets - The World's First Move-to-Earn NFT Game,' which aligns with the stated scam type of crypto fraud. SSL certification is provided by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common feature in both legitimate and malicious domains. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL, signaling detection by multiple threat intelligence sources. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, reflecting high-risk classification. While the domain has been scanned by 95 vendors on VirusTotal, none currently flag it, though this absence does not confirm safety. The registration age of nearly four years may suggest either long-term malicious use or repurposing of an older domain for phishing. Defenders should treat this domain as an active threat due to its confirmed brand impersonation, blocklist presence, and association with known crypto scam infrastructure. Further monitoring is recommended to track changes in detection status or additional indicators of compromise.
