How old is the sharkcat.player2.world domain?

Where is sharkcat.player2.world hosted?

sharkcat.player2.world resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the sharkcat.player2.world report updated?

Confidence

The page presents itself as an official Costco Hot Dog airdrop promising $COST tokens but contains no legitimate business contact information. Two phishing detections from our antivirus network directly match the wallet-connection prompt and fake branding. The domain was registered only 11 days ago with no web history or reviews, a common pattern for short-lived drainer sites. Visual analysis confirms fabricated trust badges and urgency language designed to rush participation. No scam reports exist yet because the site is brand new, but the combination of signals is conclusive.

Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators

The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.

Do not interact with sharkcat.player2.world
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
Never paste your seed phrase anywhere
Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.
If you already connected a wallet
Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.
Report the wallet and URL
File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
