aden.exchange is flagged as a critical crypto‑drainer infrastructure. The domain was registered through Dynadot LLC on 1 September 2025 and remains active. It resolves to the Cloudflare‑owned address 188.114.96.3 (AS13335, United States). The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12) and the site returns an HTTP 301 redirect, indicating a deliberate forwarding step. Technology fingerprints show Google Web Server, enforced HSTS, and HTTP/3 support, consistent with modern hosting on Cloudflare. The page title “ADEN – Decentralized Perpetual Contracts” suggests a fabricated DeFi offering, and the scam type is identified as wallet/seed phishing using a Wallet Connect abuse kit, which is commonly employed to harvest private keys and seed phrases.
Two of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain, and the Gridinsoft trust score is 0 / 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The domain is listed on two public blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer. Nameservers are donald.ns.cloudflare.com and hera.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming Cloudflare DNS control. The intelligence indicates the operator is impersonating the brand “Across”, although the site does not expose any Across branding beyond the name reference. No public samples of the delivered payload or victim reports have been released, so the exact method of credential capture remains uncertain.
However, the presence of a Wallet Connect abuse kit strongly implies that any user who connects a wallet through the presented interface may have their private keys intercepted or redirected to an attacker‑controlled address. Defenders should add 188.114.96.3 to network‑level deny lists, enforce DNS blocking for aden.exchange, and monitor for anomalous Wallet Connect calls from internal clients. Threat‑intel platforms should flag any outbound traffic to the domain’s IP or to known wallet‑draining endpoints associated with the kit.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

If credentials were compromised, report immediately. Do not engage with recovery scammers.
If a wallet, seed phrase, or account was exposed, report the incident immediately. Revoke approvals and move remaining assets to a new wallet created on a trusted device.
Beware of recovery scammers! Recovery scammers may pose as investigators, lawyers, or tracing services. Do not pay upfront fees or disclose credentials. Guaranteed crypto recovery is a fraud indicator. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do crypto scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
