kkuiionlog-iim[.]godaddysites[.]com

The domain kkuiionlog-iim.godaddysites.com has been identified as a credential phishing portal specifically impersonating the KuCoin cryptocurrency exchange login interface. Analysis confirms the domain currently exhibits an offline status, though prior activity targeted users attempting to access legitimate KuCoin services through deceptive login prompts. The page title, Kucoin Loℊin | Loℊ In Kucoin, employs homoglyph substitution (replacing 'g' with 'ℊ') to evade basic detection mechanisms and mimic the authentic platform’s branding. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through GoDaddy Sites, with a creation date of May 27, 2026, indicating a likely typographical error in the registration timestamp or an attempt to obfuscate tracking. The domain resolves to the IP address 76.223.105.230 and is associated with an SSL certificate issued by GoDaddy.com, Inc. under the Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2. Security vendor detection metrics report 17 of 95 engines on VirusTotal flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on a single security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. The elevated detection rate, despite limited blocklist inclusion, suggests a targeted or recently deployed campaign. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions or infrastructure suspension. However, the technical indicators—including the homoglyph usage, anomalous creation date, and SSL certificate issuer—warrant continued monitoring. Organizations and users are advised to implement strict domain validation protocols, particularly for cryptocurrency-related services, and to verify SSL certificate chains independently. Network-level blocking of the identified IP (76.223.105.230) and domain is recommended as a precautionary measure. End-users should be trained to recognize homoglyph attacks and report suspicious login portals to security teams for further analysis.
