melanux[.]com

melanux.com was observed hosting a credential‑phishing page that pretended to be associated with the decentralized exchange 1inch. The site’s HTML title reads “Melanux — Faster, better, stronger than your average crypto exchange”, which does not reference the victim brand, but the domain has been classified as a brand‑impersonation infrastructure targeting 1inch users. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which belongs to Cloudflare’s network (AS13335) and is geographically located in the United States. Nameserver records point to hattie.ns.cloudflare.com and sam.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming that the hosting is provided through Cloudflare’s DNS service. The domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on 22 September 2025 and lacks an SSL/TLS certificate, indicating that HTTPS was not enabled for the site.

Threat intelligence feeds show that the domain is listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal analysis reports that one out of ninety‑five scanning engines flagged the domain, suggesting that at least one vendor detected suspicious characteristics. Gridinsoft’s trust scoring system rates the domain at 0 out of 100, reinforcing the low trust assessment. No additional public detections, such as Safe Browsing or OTX entries, were found in the available data. The current operational status is “offline”, meaning the site is no longer reachable at the time of this report.

However, the underlying infrastructure—Cloudflare IP address, name‑server configuration, and recent registration—remains reusable for future phishing campaigns. Defenders should continue to monitor the IP 188.114.97.3 and associated Cloudflare ASN for any re‑appearance of malicious content, add the domain to internal blocklists, and consider broader blocks on the hosting provider’s network if similar patterns emerge.
