Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: 1 Registered: 2024-03-13 Expires: 2025-09-08 Page title: Antarctic Exchange: 0-Gas Arb Perpetual Futures DEX | Trade BTC, ETH, Meme, and DeFi ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f2309dc01824ea7b1854db029bb85af5ec4317ac58d324ab1814e09d89d7e984 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2024-03-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-09-20 23:10:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-18 18:08:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01992ad8-df6e-758e-ac4f-7d8d9d853aac/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/antarctic.exchange crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.antarctic.exchange Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=antarctic.exchange AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/antarctic.exchange URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/antarctic.exchange/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:07:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies antarctic.exchange as a suspicious crypto platform impersonating the brand Across. It is classified under potential crypto drainer threats due to its Wallet Connect abuse kit. Technical indicators include its recent creation date (March 13, 2024), a low trust score (1/100 by Gridinsoft), and resolution to IP 188.114.96.3. Although VirusTotal shows no detections so far, it appears on one security blocklist and AlienVault OTX flagged it in a threat pulse. Currently, antarctic.exchange is offline following suspicion of malicious activity. Users are advised to avoid the domain until the investigation concludes and to secure any crypto wallets potentially exposed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a02f4d85c386289b4c85324f82996b83 TLS cert SHA-256: f2309dc01824ea7b1854db029bb85af5ec4317ac58d324ab1814e09d89d7e984 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/antarctic.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=antarctic.exchange Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
