edx-finance[.]com

The domain edx-finance.com was registered on February 21, 2026 and is currently taken offline. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 192.3.190.186, which is hosted by HostPapa under ASN 36352 and geolocated to the United States. The site presented the page title "Edx-Finances - Home" and is classified as a crypto scam that impersonates the brand "across". Security telemetry shows that two of ninety‑three antivirus engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain, indicating at least limited malicious detection.

The domain appears on one external blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service. Independent reputation services assign extremely low trust scores: Gridinsoft rates the site at 0 out of 100 and Scamadviser at 1 out of 100, reinforcing the assessment of high risk. The SSL certificate associated with the site carries an R10 rating, suggesting poor certificate hygiene or a self‑signed issuance. The elevated risk level assigned to this infrastructure reflects the combination of low reputation, active blocklisting, and the presence of a crypto‑related scam label.

Because the site is no longer reachable, content‑level indicators such as phishing forms or malicious payloads cannot be verified, leaving the exact user‑experience unknown. Defenders should proactively block the domain and its resolved IP address at network perimeter devices, incorporate the host into threat‑intel feeds, and monitor for any re‑registration attempts or similar domains hosted on the same AS. Continuous observation of HostPapa‑hosted IP ranges for new malicious activity is advised, as the hosting provider has previously been used for illicit campaigns. Organizations that rely on the "across" brand should educate users about potential impersonation attempts and enforce multi‑factor authentication to mitigate credential compromise.
