bitbridge[.]exchange

bitbridge.exchange is a newly registered domain (04‑Apr‑2026) that resolves to 104.21.74.200, a Cloudflare‑provided address located in Canada. The domain is hosted behind Cloudflare’s DNS (rose.ns.cloudflare.com, vern.ns.cloudflare.com) and presents a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), indicating a legitimate‑looking HTTPS connection. The site returns HTTP 403, and its only visible metadata is the page title “Uphold – Buy, Sell, and Send BTC, XRP, And MORE In Seconds,” suggesting an attempt to masquerade as the Uphold cryptocurrency service. The infrastructure is typical of bridge‑scam operations: a short‑lived domain, use of a reputable CDN to obscure origin, and a low Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. Threat intelligence flags the domain on one public blocklist and PhishDestroy has already blocked it; AlienVault OTX includes it in a single pulse, and three of ninety‑four VirusTotal scanners have generated detections. The risk rating is high and the threat type is generic_phishing. At present, no additional content or payload has been observed, and the exact phishing page layout remains unknown. Defenders should add the domain and its IP to deny‑list rules, monitor DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare nameservers, and enforce URL filtering that blocks any HTTP/HTTPS request to bitbridge.exchange. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is recommended to capture any future malicious payloads.
