espresso[.]foundation-esp[.]claims

Analysis of espresso.foundation-esp.claims indicates that the domain is currently offline, returning an HTTP 403 response. The site was registered on 21 February 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolves to the Cloudflare‑owned address 172.67.200.232, ASN 13335 located in the United States. Cloudflare’s DNS configuration uses the nameservers sean.ns.cloudflare.com and luciana.ns.cloudflare.com, and the service supports HTTP/3. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 label, confirming the use of a valid TLS chain.

The page title observed before takedown was “Espresso Claim Portal,” and the domain has been classified as a crypto‑drainer scam, consistent with the “Crypto Scam” tag in the intelligence feed. Three of ninety‑three VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain, and the host appears on two independent blocklists—PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer—providing corroborating evidence of malicious intent. No additional public threat‑intel sources (OTX, Safe Browsing, etc.) are referenced in the current dataset, leaving the broader campaign context uncertain. The limited artifact set suggests a short‑lived infrastructure designed to lure victims into submitting cryptocurrency wallet credentials or initiating transfers.

Defenders should immediately block the domain and its resolving IP at perimeter and DNS filtering layers. Because the domain leverages Cloudflare’s network, similar malicious actors may reuse the same nameserver pair or IP range, so monitoring for newly‑registered domains under the same registrar or with comparable TLS certificates is advisable. Continuous re‑scanning of the IP address and periodic checks against the listed blocklists will help detect re‑activation. Incident response teams encountering related phishing attempts should treat any references to “Espresso Claim Portal” as indicative of this specific crypto‑drainer operation.
