celestiadao[.]app

Analysis of the domain celestiadao.app, observed as offline as of the report date, shows infrastructure consistent with a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting the Celestia brand. The domain resolves to the IP address 198.54.120.178, which belongs to the AS22612 Namecheap, Inc. network located in the United States. Registration details list NameCheap, Inc. as the registrar and the authoritative nameservers dns1.namecheaphosting.com and dns2.namecheaphosting.com, a common configuration for disposable or fast‑flux domains. No TLS certificate was presented, meaning the site would have been served over plain HTTP, a characteristic often exploited to avoid the cost of certificate acquisition.

The sole page retrieved before takedown carried the title “BONANZASLOT: KPK Luncurkan Aplikasi dengan RTP Gacor Auto Win Modal Kecil WD Besar Anti Korup!” which bears no obvious relation to the Celestia brand, indicating the page content has not been publicly verified. The domain is classified as a brand‑impersonation scam and marked as impersonating Celestia. Security‑vendor aggregators have identified the site as malicious: Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, one security blocklist lists the domain, and nine of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagged it as malicious. The blocklist PhishDestroy also actively blocks the domain.

Given the limited public artifacts, the exact phishing vector (e.g., credential‑harvesting page, malicious download) remains uncertain. Defenders should block network traffic to 198.54.120.178 and to the domain name itself at DNS and proxy layers. Email filters should add celestiadao.app to malicious sender lists, and SOC analysts should monitor for any references to the Celestia brand in outbound traffic that resolve to the same IP range. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain after it reappears is advised, as the lack of SSL and the use of a generic hosting provider suggest the site could be rapidly redeployed with new content.
