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.
Analysis as of July 23 2026 indicates that rangi.exchange was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on 21 February 2026 and is currently taken offline. The domain resolves to 104.21.24.198, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) located in the United States. DNS resolution uses Cloudflare’s authoritative nameservers dean.ns.cloudflare.com and sonia.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site was served over HTTP/3 without an SSL/TLS certificate, confirming the absence of encryption. Infrastructure fingerprints show a Node.js application stack running Express, with embedded YouTube references, consistent with a typical web‑based crypto‑exchange front end.
The page title returned by the server is “Rango Exchange | Swap Anything Anywhere,” which aligns with the classified scam type “Fake Exchange” and the claim that the site impersonates the brand “across.” Security telemetry reports that 14 of 93 VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain, and it appears on three external blocklists. Independent blocklist providers PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL have listed the domain as malicious, reinforcing the risk assessment. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 further reflects a lack of legitimacy. No SSL certificate, combined with the low trust score and multiple vendor detections, suggests the site was likely used to lure victims into depositing cryptocurrency under false pretenses.
Because the site is offline, active exploitation cannot be confirmed, but the observed infrastructure and detection history indicate a high‑confidence fraudulent operation. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter and DNS layers, monitor for any re‑registration attempts, and advise users to avoid any unsolicited communications referencing “Rango Exchange” or the “across” brand. Ongoing threat‑intel feeds should be checked for new indicators that might associate the IP address or Cloudflare name servers with similar scams.

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.

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.
