whitelist-circlecom[.]pages[.]dev

This domain, whitelist-circlecom.pages.dev, is a targeted phishing site impersonating Circle’s official USDC and Web3 financial services platform. Analysis indicates the threat actor designed the page to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials, private keys, and two-factor authentication codes under the guise of legitimate Circle services. The page title, 'Circle | USDC & Web3 Services for a new financial system,' closely mimics the authentic branding, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks against users of stablecoins and decentralized finance platforms.

The domain was registered on December 11, 2024, through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) in the United States.

Users who have visited whitelist-circlecom.pages.dev or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke access to any connected wallets or accounts. All passwords, private keys, and recovery phrases associated with the interaction must be considered compromised and replaced. Multi-factor authentication tokens generated during the session should be invalidated. Affected users are advised to monitor linked financial accounts and cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious activity to their platform’s security team. Network-level blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (188.114.97.3) is recommended to prevent further exposure.
