Report overview
edgexd.exchange is a confirmed brand impersonation domain mimicking Google. Detected by 8/95 security vendors, this fraudulent DEX trading site poses elevated.
The detailed PhishDestroy AI analysis below remains in English to preserve the original forensic record.
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Google. Analysis indicates the site was designed to deceive users by presenting itself as a legitimate decentralized exchange platform, while leveraging Google's branding and infrastructure to appear credible. The domain edgexd.exchange was registered on February 21, 2026, a future date that suggests potential typosquatting or domain spoofing tactics to exploit user trust in established brands. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain is detected by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on one security blocklist, and holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.170.8 and is registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. The site employed an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, further attempting to legitimize its fraudulent operations. Technologies detected include HSTS, Cloudflare, and HTTP/3, which are often used to obfuscate malicious activity behind layers of security and performance features. To mitigate risks associated with this brand impersonation threat, organizations and users should immediately block the domain and its resolving IP address at the network level. Security teams are advised to monitor for any attempts to access edgexd.exchange or similar domains within their environments. Users should be educated on recognizing brand impersonation tactics, particularly those involving decentralized finance or trading platforms. Additionally, verifying domain registration dates and SSL certificate issuers can help identify fraudulent sites. If financial transactions or credentials were shared via this domain, affected parties should reset passwords, revoke session tokens, and report the incident to relevant fraud authorities.

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.

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.
