bep-20[.]live

Analysis of the domain bep-20.live, observed on July 24, 2026, shows a confirmed generic phishing operation. The site presented the page title "USDT Flash Checker - Verify Your USDT Balance Instantly!" indicating an attempt to lure victims into providing cryptocurrency credentials. No TLS certificate was deployed, meaning the site served content over plain HTTP. DNS resolution pointed to IP address 188.114.96.3, which is allocated to Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and geolocated to the United States.

The domain was registered on February 28, 2026 through Hostinger operations, UAB, and uses Cloudflare nameservers daphne.ns.cloudflare.com and jonah.ns.cloudflare.com. Reputation checks reveal inclusion on two independent blocklists—PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer—and two of ninety-three VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain as malicious. The domain is currently taken offline, which limits immediate interaction but does not remove the threat to users who may have previously accessed the URL. Given the observed indicators, defenders should block network traffic to 188.114.96.3 and add bep-20.live to URL filtering policies.

Email gateways should be updated to treat messages containing this URL as malicious, and SOC analysts should search recent logs for any GET requests to the domain or its IP. Because the site employed a lure targeting USDT balances, threat-intel teams should monitor for related credential-stealing campaigns and correlate any compromised wallet addresses with known malicious actors. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s registration details is advised in case the operator reactivates the site under a new IP or DNS configuration.
