app-curves[.]online

The domain app-curves.online was observed for brand impersonation targeting Curve. The site is currently offline, having been taken down after inclusion on a security blocklist by PhishDestroy. DNS resolution points to IP 191.101.104.38, which belongs to AS47583 Hostinger International Limited and is geolocated in the United States. The domain was registered on 23 December 2025 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and uses the default parking nameservers ns1.dns-parking.com and ns2.dns-parking.com. No SSL certificate was presented, indicating the site operated over plain HTTP.

The page title retrieved before takedown reads “Curve DAO Token (CRV) To Bounce Back? Key Bullish Pattern Formation Suggest So!”, aligning with a crypto‑scam narrative that leverages Curve’s brand. Reputation services assign a Scamadviser trust score of 24 / 100 and a Gridinsoft score of 0 / 100, reflecting low credibility. VirusTotal analysis shows that four of ninety‑three scanning engines flagged the domain, reinforcing the malicious assessment.

The domain appears on a single known security blocklist, and its removal by PhishDestroy confirms active mitigation. Defenders should add app‑curves.online to URL filtering and DNS sink‑hole policies, block the associated IP 191.101.104.38, and monitor for new registrations that reuse the “curves” keyword or the same registrar. Because the site employed a generic parking nameserver configuration and lacked TLS, any future incarnation is likely to repeat the same credential‑free delivery model. Continuous watch of Hostinger‑based hosting blocks and rapid sharing of the observed page title can aid in early detection of copycat campaigns.
