circle-topping[.]com

circle-topping.com is currently listed as an active generic phishing infrastructure with a high risk rating. The domain was registered on February 7, 2026 through Dynadot Inc and resolves to the IPv4 address 178.32.82.176. Authoritative name servers are ns3.ddoscure.com and ns4.ddoscure.com, which are also associated with other malicious domains observed in recent threat reports. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service.

VirusTotal analysis shows that 2 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, indicating limited but non‑trivial detection coverage. No additional public reputation services, Safe Browsing checks, or OTX indicators were supplied in the intelligence set. The exact content hosted at the domain has not been publicly disclosed; therefore the specific brand or service being spoofed cannot be confirmed.

Nonetheless, the combination of recent registration, dedicated malicious name servers, and detection by multiple independent scanners justifies a high confidence rating for phishing activity. Defenders should add 178.32.82.176 and circle-topping.com to outbound and inbound deny lists, monitor DNS queries for the domain and its name servers, and enable real‑time URL filtering that incorporates the blocklist entry. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended as additional telemetry, such as page title or victim reports, may become available.
