The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: less than 1 year (registration continuity). - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Security Alert Fortinet flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution. This website is a recently created portal whose domain name presents it as a case-distribution or claims portal tied to the FTX collapse. Its only observable front is a Cloudflare bot-challenge interstitial, which appears to be a gatekeeping screen placed in front of whatever content a visitor would reach. The domain name points to a creditor-claims or payout-processing function, but no content was captured to show what the site actually offers. Its apparent purpose is therefore to draw visitors who expect an official distribution process, and the available evidence does not establish that it is one. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk Contradictory signals are present and decisive. The domain is **blacklisted**: several threat-intelligence engines currently flag it as malicious or suspicious, including a tier-one security vendor, and an independent external blacklist also lists it. The domain pairs distribution-case and portal wording with the name of a collapsed exchange, a naming pattern that matches creditor-claim lure campaigns. These aim to harvest wallet details, identity documents, or fees from people expecting compensation. No on-site content confirming or ruling out an affiliation with any legitimate claims administrator was captured, so impersonation is not confirmed. The domain is also very young, and the combination of a fresh registration with active malicious detections is the profile of a purpose-built lure site. Browser-behaviour testing showed no wallet-drainer, clipboard-hijack, or hidden-form activity across three runs. However, almost all outbound traffic went to third-party hosts, including many external background requests and external form submissions, and the page logged a high number of console errors. That is consistent with a thin front end that offloads its functionality elsewhere. No conflicting legal identities were observed. Evidence: - Homepage: the domain was registered on 2026-08-05, about 82 days (~0.22 years) before analysis, and its registration runs only to 2027-08-05. - Reputation checks: two engines rated the domain malicious and two suspicious, and an external blacklist listing is active. - Homepage behaviour: 27 external background requests and 9 external submissions across three runs, with about 97.6% of observed external activity directed to third parties and 12 console errors. - Homepage capture: the page title was the generic challenge text "Just a moment...", with no substantive site content retrievable. ### Regulatory Verification Notes No legal, terms, privacy, or about pages were captured, because the challenge screen blocked content collection. No licence, registration number, or claims-administrator affiliation could be evaluated on the site, and no regulator or administrator listing supports the site. No broker-reputation database entry matched the domain. The site's name implies an official insolvency-related function, which would normally be backed by a court- or administrator-published address. Nothing in the evidence establishes that link. Evidence: - Hosting: served from AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc., US), with the registry recorded as ARIN. - Transport security: the TLS certificate was issued by WE1 at domain-validation (DV) level and is valid to 2027-01-02. This confirms encryption only, not the operator's identity. - Registration: the domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC. - Third-party reputation: no broker-database match was found, so no external licensing or regulatory signal exists either way. ### What to Verify Next Anyone who reached this domain through an email, message, or advertisement should treat the source as suspect. They should locate the genuine claims or distribution process independently, through the official court-supervised or administrator-published channels and not through any link or QR code received. The domain should be compared against that official source, and any wallet details, identity documents, or fees already sent to it should be treated as potentially compromised. Security teams should consider blocking the domain and reporting it to the relevant abuse and anti-phishing channels. Evidence: - Homepage: the domain pairs claims-portal wording with the name of a failed exchange, so the official source of the claims process is the correct comparison point. - Reputation checks: the active malicious detections justify blocking and reporting the domain. - Homepage behaviour: heavy third-party request activity means any data entered could reach parties other than the apparent operator. ### Summary Verdict The overall posture is high risk. Active external threat detections combined with a brand-themed lure domain created only weeks earlier outweigh the technically sound transport encryption and the clean behavioural testing results. The evidence does not support treating the site as a legitimate claims portal. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site sits behind Cloudflare CDN and WAF, and all observed addresses are edge servers, so the origin host could not be independently identified. The transport encryption is valid and the bot-protection layer behaved consistently, which are modest mitigating factors. They cannot offset the reputation risk. Edge-only visibility also means the content behind the edge could be swapped quickly without any change in the observable hosting footprint. ### Closing Assessment The site should not be used for logins, credential entry, wallet connections, identity submissions, or any payment or fee. Contact should be limited to passive observation from an isolated environment, if it is needed at all. Anyone seeking compensation-related information should rely only on independently sourced official channels. _Written analysis generated 2026-10-27 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 4 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by external reputation, hosting and network, behaviour in a sandbox, registration and ownership. ### 01 External reputation - Several malware engines flagged this domain. (External reputation `rule:EXT_BLACKLIST_HIGH`) ### 02 Hosting and network - The domain was registered less than three months ago. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_NEW_DOMAIN_90D`) - The domain is young and has almost nothing else set up around it. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_SPARSE_YOUNG_DOMAIN`) ### 03 Behaviour in a sandbox - Most of what the page loaded came from other domains rather than from this one. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_EXTERNAL_RATIO_HIGH`) ### 04 Registration and ownership - The registration record withholds contact details for the operator. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_HIDDEN`) - Registration details are held behind a privacy service, so no operator is named publicly. This is common and legal, and it also means there is nobody to check. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_PRIVATE`) ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNKNOWN | | Identity score | 50/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 15% | - AI page analysis unavailable (page captured; identity not AI-verified) _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of distribution-cases-portal-ftx.com. - The request stayed on distribution-cases-portal-ftx.com.

It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present. TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [dexscreenervotes.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/dexscreenervotes.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [axiomdesktop.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/axiomdesktop.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [kuatex.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/kuatex.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [loyalty-xrpl.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/loyalty-xrpl.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [pons-live.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/pons-live.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [live-pons.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/live-pons.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [baseweb3wallets.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/baseweb3wallets.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [vet-xrplf.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/vet-xrplf.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [aavefi.lol](https://trustsniffer.com/report/aavefi.lol), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [tashiperk.xyz](https://trustsniffer.com/report/tashiperk.xyz), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 12/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory), the full risk directory - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains), same verdict band - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence), run a new assessment - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk), on-chain screening - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats), how this verdict compares ## Guides - [Stablecoin Freezes, Oct 24, 2026: 15 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-10-24) - [Fake Airdrop Sites Show a Number, Not a Transfer](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/fake-airdrop-sites-show-a-number-not-a-transfer) - [Crypto Scam Websites in 2026: What a List Misses](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/crypto-scam-websites-2026-what-a-list-misses) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/distribution-cases-portal-ftx.com) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
