Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is classified as high-risk due to confirmed brand impersonation targeting dYdX, a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange. The site presents itself as an independent resource hub, likely designed to mislead users into disclosing sensitive information or interacting with malicious smart contracts, a common tactic in crypto-related scams. Analysis indicates the domain v2-dydx.at is registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. / Registrar.eu and resolves to the IP address 209.74.82.247. It is flagged by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with detections from MetaMask, SEAL, and Maltrail. The domain appears on three security blocklists, and its SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt. The page title, 'dYdX Guide — Independent Resource Hub,' further suggests an attempt to impersonate legitimate educational or support content associated with dYdX. Mitigation steps for this threat include blocking the domain and its associated IP at the network perimeter. Users should be alerted to verify the authenticity of any dYdX-related resources by cross-referencing official communication channels. Organizations should monitor for connections to 209.74.82.247 and review logs for interactions with v2-dydx.at. If encountered, users should avoid entering credentials, connecting wallets, or downloading files from the site. Incident response teams should treat any engagement with this domain as a potential security breach and investigate accordingly. ## 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 (operator 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/v2-dydx.at/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=v2-dydx.at 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
