pupxbnb[.]xyz

The domain pupxbnb.xyz was registered on October 13, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is presently taken offline. DNS resolution points to the IP address 104.21.14.113, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and is geolocated in the United States. Both authoritative nameservers, charles.ns.cloudflare.com and luciane.ns.cloudflare.com, are Cloudflare‑operated, indicating that the infrastructure relies on a widely used content delivery network.

No TLS certificate was observed for the host, and an HTTP request returns a 522 timeout error, as reflected in the page title "pupxbnb.xyz | 522: Connection timed out." The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly flagged by the PhishDestroy blocklist. VirusTotal analysis shows that 10 of 95 security vendors label the domain as malicious, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The intelligence categorizes the activity as a crypto‑related scam, consistent with the observed lack of encryption and the presence of a generic phishing indicator.

While the offline status limits immediate observation of payload or landing page content, the combination of low trust score, multiple vendor detections, and blocklist inclusion provides strong evidence of a phishing campaign targeting cryptocurrency users. Defenders should block DNS resolution to 104.21.14.113, monitor for any residual traffic originating from the Cloudflare edge, and incorporate the domain and its IP into endpoint and network threat‑intel feeds. Ongoing surveillance of the registrar and associated nameservers is advised to detect potential re‑use of the same infrastructure for future campaigns.
