pepeascension[.]protectify[.]tech

Analysis of pepeascension.protectify.tech indicates this domain was a phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users, specifically those associated with Pepe Coin. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and is currently offline as of the report date. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolved to IP 147.93.73.220, hosted by Hostinger International Limited (AS47583) in Lithuania. The domain appears on two security blocklists and is blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, suggesting prior malicious activity.

Two of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain, though the exact detection context is not specified. The SSL certificate is issued by ZeroSSL, a common provider for both legitimate and malicious domains, and the nameservers (ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com) are associated with low-cost or bulk domain services, which are frequently used in phishing operations. The page title, matching the domain name, does not provide additional brand confirmation but aligns with a potential cryptocurrency-related scam.

No evidence of a specific phishing kit or additional brand impersonation is present in the available data. Defenders should treat this domain as compromised infrastructure and consider blocking it at the network level. Further investigation may be warranted if the domain reactivates, particularly to determine if it resumes targeting Pepe Coin or other cryptocurrency assets.
