web3[.]cc

PhishDestroy confirms the domain web3.cc is actively engaged in a generic phishing campaign designed to impersonate the legitimate Web3.com Ventures platform. The threat involves fake investment opportunities, credential harvesting, or malware distribution under the guise of a reputable venture firm. Analysis shows the domain resolves to IP 15.197.225.128, operates with a GoDaddy SSL certificate, and was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on May 20, 2018. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal (3/95 scanners), the site remains active and poses a credible risk to cryptocurrency investors and Web3 entrepreneurs.

This domain was not flagged by any of the 95 security engines on VirusTotal, indicating a blind spot in automated detection systems. The domain’s age (registered in 2018) and use of a GoDaddy SSL certificate suggest an attempt to appear legitimate. However, the mismatch between the domain name (web3.cc) and the impersonated brand (Web3.com Ventures) is a clear red flag. Attackers frequently exploit minor visual or textual similarities to deceive users into entering sensitive data or downloading malicious payloads.

If you have visited web3.cc, immediately cease any interaction with the site and scan your device using updated antivirus software. Do not enter credentials, payment details, or personal information on this domain. Report the incident to your security team or platform provider. Consider using browser-based tools to block access to this domain and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Stay vigilant for further phishing variants and report suspicious domains to PhishDestroy or relevant cybersecurity authorities.
