aslerdex[.]com

Analysis as of July 24 2026 indicates that aslerdex.com is an offline domain registered through Tucows Domains Inc. on September 17 2025. The site is associated with a social media phishing campaign that impersonates the Dota 2 brand, as reflected in the supplied brand target and the page title “Gaming”. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, which belongs to Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and is geolocated in the United States. The domain uses Cloudflare’s authoritative nameservers katelyn.ns.cloudflare.com and tosana.ns.cloudflare.com, yet it does not present an SSL/TLS certificate, leaving HTTP connections unencrypted. Threat intelligence sources have placed the domain on one public blocklist and it is specifically listed as blocked by PhishDestroy.

Google Safe Browsing classifies the site under social engineering, and VirusTotal reports that four of ninety‑five scanned scanners flagged the domain, supporting the malicious classification. Additionally, Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the low reputation of the host. The current operational status is offline, and no live content has been observed; therefore, the exact payload or credential‑capture mechanism remains unknown. The lack of an SSL certificate and the simple Cloudflare front‑end suggest a low‑cost hosting setup typical of opportunistic phishing actors.

Because the domain has already been indexed by multiple detection services, defenders should ensure that internal DNS filtering rules block any resolution to 188.114.96.3 and that endpoint security products are updated with the indicator of compromise (IOC) for aslerdex.com. Network monitoring should watch for outbound connections to Cloudflare IP ranges that may be used by related phishing infrastructure. Email gateways should be configured to flag or quarantine messages that reference Dota 2‑related URLs or the domain itself.
