avaxtrades[.]com

On July 24, 2026 avaxtrades.com was identified as a malicious infrastructure component that impersonates the Avalanche brand. The domain was registered on July 14, 2025 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB and is hosted on a Hostinger International Limited address (AS47583) located in Lithuania, resolving to IP 84.32.84.114. DNS resolution points to the generic parking nameservers ns1.dns-parking.com and ns2.dns-parking.com, and no TLS certificate is presented for the site, indicating an unencrypted HTTP service.

The page title returned from the host is "AvaxTrades," which aligns with the reported scam type of a crypto scam targeting Avalanche users. The infrastructure has been taken offline, but historical evidence shows the domain was listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. VirusTotal analysis recorded a single positive detection out of 95 security vendors, and a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 / 100 further confirms the lack of credibility.

These indicators collectively suggest that the domain was used to lure victims into fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions under the guise of an Avalanche‑related service. Defenders should add avaxtrades.com to network deny lists, monitor for any re‑registration attempts, and enforce HTTPS inspection on outbound traffic to detect potential redirects. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for emerging variants that reuse the same hosting provider or naming pattern, and any residual DNS entries should be purged to prevent resurrection of the same infrastructure.
