BforeAI Threat Advisory: Scam Activity Leveraging U.S. Actions in Venezuela in January 2026

PreCrime Labs, the threat research team at BforeAI identified a large cluster of suspicious domain registrations leveraging US military operations in Venezuela and the resulting information vacuum.

When the PreCrime Labs team investigated new domains related to the Venezuela matter and registered from December 1- January 12, 2026, a total of 829 domains were determined to be suspicious. An even more recent surge in domain registrations, primarily in January 2026, dominates the dataset. Approximately 546 domains were registered in the time period between January 3-5, 2026 alone. This represents a significant spike in activity compared to the December 2025 period leading up to the January 2 military action in which 110 related domains were registered over the entire month.
