chainlink[.]airdropsalerts[.]sbs

This domain, chainlink.airdropsalerts.sbs, was observed resolving to the IP address 142.250.186.36, an address owned by Google LLC (AS15169) in the United States. The domain is registered through Dynadot LLC and uses Cloudflare nameservers brenna.ns.cloudflare.com and hassan.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate was presented, indicating that HTTPS was not available when the site was reachable. The page title returned by the server was simply “Google”, matching the declared brand target of Google.

Intelligence classifies the site as a crypto‑scam that impersonates the Google brand. The Gridinsoft trust score for the domain is 0 out of 100, reflecting an extremely low reputation. VirusTotal analysis shows that 12 of 95 scanned security vendors flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one external security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service.

The domain was created on 24 October 2025 and is currently taken offline. For defenders, the concrete indicators—IP address, registrar, Cloudflare name servers, lack of SSL, low trust score, and the VirusTotal detection count—should be added to network and DNS filtering rules. Monitoring for newly registered domains that resolve to Google‑owned IP ranges but present brand‑targeted page titles without proper TLS can help surface similar impersonation attempts. Since the site is already offline, immediate blocking is recommended, and investigators should retain the DNS and IP evidence for potential attribution or takedown activities.
