proxysales[.]cc

Analysis of the domain proxysales.cc indicates a confirmed brand impersonation campaign targeting Bitcoin, classified as elevated risk. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, and resolved to the IP address 217.60.36.24, hosted on AS56971 Cloud infrastructure located in France. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), and detected web server technology (Nginx) align with common phishing infrastructure patterns. The page title, 'Bitcoin Mining,' directly references cryptocurrency operations, reinforcing the impersonation of Bitcoin-related services. As of July 23, 2026, the domain is offline, though its prior activity remains under scrutiny.

Detection metrics confirm malicious classification: 16 of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, and it appears on one security blocklist. AlienVault OTX records its inclusion in 14 threat intelligence pulses, further corroborating its association with malicious activity. The domain's trust score from Gridinsoft is 1/100, indicating a high-risk assessment. Nameservers (a.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com) are consistent with domains used in prior impersonation schemes, though this alone does not confirm intent. No evidence of a phishing kit or additional technical artifacts (e.g., redirect chains, credential-harvesting scripts) is currently available, as the site content was not analyzed prior to takedown.

Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed malicious indicator. Blocking at the DNS or network level is recommended for organizations handling cryptocurrency or financial services.

If historical logs or proxy data exist, retroactive scanning for connections to 217.60.36.24 or the domain itself may identify compromised endpoints. No further brand-specific indicators (e.g.
