blackrock-invest[.]net

The domain blackrock-invest.net was registered on 25 October 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is currently taken offline. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 93.152.230.99, which geolocates to Finland and is hosted on the bunny.net name‑service infrastructure (nameservers coco.bunny.net and kiki.bunny.net). No TLS certificate is presented; the site serves only HTTP, which further limits the ability to verify authenticity. The page title returned from the host is "BlackRock Event", but no additional content has been disclosed publicly. The domain is classified as an investment scam that impersonates the Ethereum brand, a form of brand‑impersonation fraud.

Detection data show that seven of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flag the domain as malicious, and a single AlienVault OTX pulse references it. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of one hundred, indicating extreme risk. The domain appears on one external security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. Safe Browsing status is not reported. The low trust score, presence on blocklists, and multiple vendor detections collectively confirm the elevated risk rating.

Defenders should add 93.152.230.99 to network‑level deny lists, enforce DNS filtering for blackrock‑invest.net, and monitor for any residual traffic after the takedown. Because the site lacks SSL, any attempted connections will be unencrypted, allowing interception of the HTTP request for additional forensic clues. Continuous watch of the bunny.net name‑servers for new subdomains that might reuse the same infrastructure is advised. Organizations that reference Ethereum in their communications should educate users about this specific impersonation attempt and update internal phishing‑detection rules to flag the domain name and associated IP address.
