Stored capture

The domain dydx.monster was registered on January 26, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:3033::ac43:b5f1, which is announced by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. The site returns a HTTP 404 Not Found page title, indicating that the host is currently serving an error page rather than an active phishing landing page. Analysis of the SSL certificate shows a WE1 issuance, but no additional certificate details are available. The infrastructure received a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, signaling a complete lack of trust.

Reputation services have placed the domain on three security blocklists, and it is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal scans report that three of ninety‑three security vendors flagged the domain, corroborating its malicious nature. The threat profile is identified as a crypto scam that impersonates the dYdX brand, aligning with the listed brand target. Current status is offline, suggesting the operator has withdrawn the site, but the registration and hosting details remain observable.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and endpoint layers, monitor the registrar for any changes, and add the IPv6 address to threat‑intel feeds. Because the site presently serves a 404 response, content‑level indicators are unavailable; therefore, further investigation should focus on passive DNS, certificate transparency logs, and any future re‑activation attempts. Maintaining awareness of the associated blocklists and ensuring that crypto‑wallet extensions such as MetaMask enforce their own blocklists will help mitigate residual risk from this infrastructure.

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.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.

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.
