usdtuniverse[.]codetrex[.]co[.]in

The domain usdtuniverse.codetrex.co.in was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on February 21, 2026. It resolves to the IPv4 address 176.223.141.158, which is assigned to AS212531 Interneto vizija in Lithuania. The authoritative name servers are ns55.domaincontrol.com and ns56.domaincontrol.com, both typical of GoDaddy’s DNS service. No TLS certificate is presented for the host, indicating the site was served over plain HTTP.

The page title retrieved from the live endpoint was "Home - USDT Universe," and the site is classified as a Binance brand impersonation under the broader scam type of Brand Impersonation. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting an extremely low confidence rating. VirusTotal analysis shows that 1 of 93 scanning engines flagged the domain, and it appears on a single security blocklist. PhishDestroy has already taken the domain offline, and the current status is reported as offline.

Evidence suggests the infrastructure was deliberately set up to lure victims by mimicking Binance‑related services, although the exact content of the landing page has not been publicly disclosed. Defenders should block the domain and its resolved IP at perimeter defenses, add the associated name servers to watchlists, and monitor for new registrations that reuse the same registrar or hosting ASN. Continued observation of GoDaddy‑registered domains targeting cryptocurrency brands is recommended, as the attacker may recycle the same infrastructure for future campaigns.
