This domain, www.granit-core.com, is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Across, a decentralized blockchain protocol. Analysis indicates the site masqueraded as AMLBot, a legitimate cryptocurrency compliance solution, likely to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials or interacting with malicious smart contracts. No direct evidence of a drainer kit was observed, but the page title and thematic content suggest an intent to exploit trust in crypto compliance tools for fraudulent purposes.

Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolved to the IP address 185.214.74.84 and was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on one security blocklist, and its Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100, indicating no legitimate reputation. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status was not explicitly provided, but the domain's offline status suggests prior detection or takedown efforts.

As of the latest assessment, www.granit-core.com has been taken offline and is blocked by PhishDestroy. While the immediate threat is mitigated, residual risk remains due to the domain's recent registration and association with a high-risk registrar. Organizations should monitor for re-registration or similar domains under the same infrastructure. Users are advised to verify crypto compliance tools exclusively through official channels and employ multi-factor authentication for all blockchain-related interactions. Network defenders should update blocklists to include this domain and its associated IP address to prevent future exposure.
