This report details a newly registered domain, web3-okx.digital, which is an impersonation scam targeting the OKX brand. The site displayed the page title "Just a moment...", a common cloaking technique used to evade detection. The primary threat is phishing, as the site attempts to mimic OKX to steal user credentials or crypto assets.
Technical analysis confirms the site's malicious nature. VirusTotal shows 8 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain. It was created on 2025-06-25, registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The IP address is 188.114.96.3, hosted by CloudFlare, Inc. in Canada. The domain has no SSL certificate. Nameservers are ara.ns.cloudflare.com and moura.ns.cloudflare.com. Cloaking was detected with the status "status_split". Blocklists include 1 entry, with flags from ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, and CyRadar.
The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE. GridinSoft trust rating is 0 out of 100, and the DOM risk score is 78 out of 100, indicating a high-risk threat. Given its recent creation and confirmed impersonation, this domain should be treated as malicious and blocked.

Cloaking confirmed: scanners and visitors see different content
ObservedDifferent content was served to scanners and to visitors
The page served one response to a browser-like visitor and another to a crawler or security scanner. Cloaking exists only to keep reviewers away from the real landing page.

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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.
