minnerva[.]net

Analysis of the domain minnerva.net, created on 28 January 2026, shows that it is currently active and hosted on the IP address 172.67.141.125. The authoritative name servers are ethan.ns.cloudflare.com and jo.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating that the domain is using Cloudflare's DNS infrastructure. Registration was performed through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar that does not appear to be directly associated with known malicious actors, but the recent creation date limits historical reputation. The site presents the page title “Minnerva - Cryptocurrency Trading,” which aligns with the generic phishing classification in the intelligence feed.

The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service, demonstrating that at least one anti‑phishing platform has taken action against it. VirusTotal analysis shows that one out of ninety‑one scanning engines flagged the domain, providing additional but limited corroboration of malicious intent. Given the observed evidence, defenders should treat minnerva.net as a high‑risk indicator. Network‑level controls should deny outbound connections to the associated IP address and to the Cloudflare name servers when possible.

Email gateways and web filters should incorporate the known blocklist entry and the PhishDestroy detection to block user access. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s DNS resolution and any changes to its registration record is recommended, as the short‑lived registration suggests the operators may attempt to evade detection by rotating domains. Until further forensic analysis of the hosted content is performed, the domain should be considered hostile and blocked across relevant security controls.
