luna-gate[.]io

Analysis of luna-gate.io indicates that the domain was registered on 21 February 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure (ASN 13335) with the IP address 172.67.134.246 located in the United States. The domain resolves to two Cloudflare nameservers (kay.ns.cloudflare.com and trey.ns.cloudflare.com) and does not present an SSL certificate, implying that HTTPS connections are not secured. The page title returned by the HTTP response is “Un instant…”, which provides no additional context about the content served. VirusTotal records show that three out of ninety‑five scanning engines flag the domain as malicious, and the Gridinsoft trust score is 0 / 100, indicating a lack of trustworthiness.

The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. Intelligence tags the site as a crypto‑scam that impersonates the legitimate exchange Gate.io, matching the brand‑target indicator. The current operational status is offline, suggesting that the hosting has been taken down or the site is otherwise inaccessible.

While the available data confirm the impersonation intent and low trust metrics, the exact phishing payload, credential‑harvesting mechanisms, or any associated command‑and‑control infrastructure remain unknown because the site is not reachable for deeper inspection. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, update DNS blacklists with the observed IP address and nameserver entries, and monitor for any newly‑registered domains that reuse the same registrar or Cloudflare hosting patterns. Additional investigation should be triggered if the domain reappears or if traffic to 172.67.134.246 is observed, especially from users attempting to access Gate.io services.
