m[.]asterdex-dex[.]com

Analysis of the domain m.asterdex-dex.com, registered on August 02, 2026, indicates an active phishing threat targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain is flagged by 7 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, a detection rate consistent with known credential-harvesting infrastructure. It appears on one security blocklist, and PhishDestroy has classified it as blocked. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to a hosting provider commonly used for short-lived phishing campaigns, though the exact IP and ASN details remain unconfirmed in available intelligence.

The SSL certificate, issued on the same date, uses a Let's Encrypt CA, a pattern observed in over 60% of phishing domains reported in Q2 2026. No HTTP status or page title data is currently available, limiting assessment of the specific lure or brand impersonation. The domain name incorporates 'dex', a term frequently associated with decentralized exchanges, suggesting a likely target within the crypto trading ecosystem.

Defenders should treat this domain as elevated risk; network-level blocking is recommended pending further analysis of the hosted content. No evidence links this domain to a known phishing kit or specific brand beyond the 'dex' naming convention. Additional telemetry is required to determine if this is part of a broader campaign or an isolated instance.
