ascendfundalis[.]net

This domain, ascendfundalis.net, was registered on 21 February 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure (ASN 13335) with the IP address 172.67.200.186 located in the United States. The domain resolves to Cloudflare name servers aldo.ns.cloudflare.com and marissa.ns.cloudflare.com and presently lacks an SSL certificate, indicating that HTTPS connections are not established. The site’s page title advertises “Ascend Fundalis – Official Platform | AI Trading 2025 | Over 10,000 Reviews,” and the threat model identifies it as a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Binance. Detection evidence shows that PhishDestroy has already blocked the domain, and it appears on one public security blocklist.

VirusTotal analysis reports that six of ninety‑three scanning engines flagged the domain, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of one hundred. AlienVault Open Threat Exchange lists the domain in a single threat‑intel pulse. The domain’s current status is offline, suggesting the malicious content has been taken down or the hosting has been terminated. Defenders should note that the domain’s infrastructure is fully cloud‑based, which can facilitate rapid redeployment under new names.

Continuous monitoring of the associated IP range (172.67.200.0/24) and the Cloudflare name servers is advised, as well as adding the domain to internal blocklists and ensuring that any outbound traffic to the IP is denied. Since the site does not use TLS, any attempted connections would be downgraded to HTTP, simplifying detection via network proxies. Organizations that use Binance services should educate users about the counterfeit branding indicated by the page title and reinforce verification of legitimate Binance URLs. Threat‑intel feeds should be updated to include this indicator, and any future sightings of similar brand‑impersonation patterns should be investigated promptly.
