solana-inv[.]vip

The domain solana-inv.vip was observed resolving to the Cloudflare edge address 188.114.96.3. The domain is delegated to Cloudflare name servers isaac.ns.cloudflare.com and teresa.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating use of a public CDN for hosting. Registration data shows the domain was created on 27 September 2025 and is registered through Dominet (HK) Limited, a registrar known to host a variety of malicious actors. The site presents a page title of “Solana”, matching the declared brand target and confirming that the domain is intended to impersonate the Solana cryptocurrency platform. No TLS certificate was presented at the time of analysis, leaving the connection unencrypted and further reducing user trust.

VirusTotal analysis recorded 12 detections out of 95 scanned vendors, suggesting that multiple security engines have identified the domain as malicious. The domain appears on at least one external blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. Its classification as a “Crypto Scam” aligns with the brand impersonation of Solana, though the precise payload or lure employed by the site has not been captured in the available evidence. Infrastructure indicators point to the IP being part of AS13335, owned by Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States. This hosting choice is typical for fast‑flux or disposable phishing infrastructure, allowing rapid relocation while preserving a globally reachable address.

The lack of an SSL certificate and the recent registration date suggest a short‑lived campaign that may have been taken offline, as indicated by the current offline status. Defenders should add solana‑inv.vip to domain blocklists, monitor DNS queries for the domain or its associated Cloudflare name servers, and enforce outbound filtering for connections to the IP 188.114.96.3.
