capital-trade[.]pro

On July 22, 2026 analysts observed that the domain capital-trade.pro has been taken offline but remains listed in multiple security feeds. The site was registered on August 20, 2025 through the REGRU-RU registrar and resolves to the Cloudflare IP 172.67.184.213, which belongs to ASN 13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) located in the United States. The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 authority, indicating the site was served over HTTPS. The page title returned by the server reads “CAPITAL-TRADE - Cryptocurrency trading and invest platform”, and the site advertises a crypto-scam aligned with the Ethereum brand; the intelligence explicitly notes impersonation of ethereum. A single nameserver is configured for the domain.

Technical fingerprinting shows the page was built with Bootstrap, jQuery, cdnjs, Popper and leveraged HTTP/3 via Cloudflare’s edge network. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, reflecting a high‑confidence malicious classification. VirusTotal recorded one positive detection out of 95 scanners, and the domain appears on one external blocklist, where it is currently listed by PhishDestroy. No additional public blocklists or Safe Browsing entries were observed. The combination of a recent registration date, low trust score, and association with a known cryptocurrency impersonation campaign suggests the domain was used to lure victims into a fraudulent investment scheme targeting Ethereum users.

Because the host is shared with other Cloudflare‑protected sites, the infrastructure can be reused for future campaigns. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, add the IP address 172.67.184.213 to deny‑list entries where feasible, and monitor for any re‑registration or resurrection of the domain. Threat‑intelligence feeds should be updated to reflect the observed impersonation of ethereum and the crypto‑scam classification.
