lupenax[.]com

Analysis of lupenax.com indicates a newly registered infrastructure used for brand impersonation targeting x.com. The domain was created on 19 October 2025 and is hosted behind Cloudflare, resolving to IP 172.67.149.38 located in the United States under ASN 13335. Nameservers jason.ns.cloudflare.com and lilyana.ns.cloudflare.com confirm the use of Cloudflare’s DNS service. No TLS certificate is presented, meaning the site operates without HTTPS protection. The page title retrieved from the site, “Lupenax: Most Popular Online Crypto Casino Based on Blockchain,” aligns with the listed scam type “Crypto Scam” and suggests the deployment of a Gambler Scam phishing kit.

The site explicitly impersonates the brand x.com, a known indicator of brand‑targeted fraud. Security reputation is extremely low; Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100. VirusTotal analysis shows that 11 of 93 scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious, reinforcing the malicious classification. The domain is currently taken offline, but it was previously listed on at least one public security blocklist and is blocked by PhishDestroy.

The registrar is Name SRS AB, a Swedish‑based entity often used for disposable registrations. Defenders should immediately add lupenax.com to URL filtering and DNS blocklists, monitor the associated IP range for re‑use, and enforce TLS inspection to detect any future activation of the site. Continuous observation of Cloudflare‑hosted domains that share the same nameservers is advised, as the infrastructure could be repurposed for additional impersonation campaigns. Because the site is offline, content‑level verification is limited; however, the combination of the malicious page title, low trust score, vendor detections, and blocklist presence provides sufficient evidence to treat the domain as a confirmed crypto‑casino impersonation threat.
