The domain orbitalmarkets.net was registered on September 17, 2025 through NameCheap, Inc. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.175.199, which belongs to the Cloudflare network (AS13335). The site returns an HTTP 200 response over HTTP/3 and presents a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 label. The server‑provided page title is “Orbital Markets”. The domain is flagged as an active, high‑risk brand‑impersonation operation targeting the “base” brand and is linked to a cryptocurrency‑related scam.

Infrastructure analysis shows the domain relies on Cloudflare services, as evidenced by Cloudflare Browser Insights and the presence of the authoritative nameservers betty.ns.cloudflare.com and mitch.ns.cloudflare.com. Email routing is managed by Zoho, with MX records pointing to mx.zoho.com (priority 10) and mx2.zoho.com (priority 20). The SSL configuration follows Cloudflare’s edge, offering modern cipher suites and HTTP/3 support.

Reputation data places orbitalmarkets.net on three public blocklists and it is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal scans have flagged the domain by three of ninety‑five security vendors, and the Gridinsoft trust score is 0 out of 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment. These indicators collectively justify the high‑risk rating assigned to the domain.

Defenders should add orbitalmarkets.net to DNS‑based deny lists and configure web filtering to block all HTTP/HTTPS traffic to the domain. Email gateways should enforce strict verification of the Zoho MX records and reject any messages originating from the domain’s IP range. Continuous monitoring of Cloudflare‑associated IP addresses is recommended, as the adversary may pivot to adjacent hosts within the same AS. Incident response teams should treat any interaction with the site as a potential compromise and initiate standard containment and forensic procedures.
