Analysis indicates the domain dydx-swap-defi-pro-trading-platform.org is actively used for brand impersonation targeting the dYdX cryptocurrency exchange. The site presents a page title that mimics the official dYdX branding ('dYdX sWaP: Decentralized Crypto Derivatives Exchange | Perpetuals & Margin Trading'). The domain was registered on 10 Oct 2025 via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is hosted behind Cloudflare infrastructure (AS13335, US location). DNS resolves to 188.114.97.3 and the certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, which does not provide any indication of malicious intent but confirms TLS is in place. HTTP responses return a 302 redirect, a pattern commonly used to forward victims to additional malicious pages. Threat intelligence shows the domain is listed on two blocklists, blocked by PhishDestroy and BLP-Malware, and appears in 23 AlienVault OTX pulses. VirusTotal reports five of ninety‑five scanners flag the domain, reinforcing the suspicion. The site is identified as a cryptocurrency scam and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. Technologies observed include Cloudflare Browser Insights, Cloudflare CDN, and HTTP/3. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact payload delivered after the redirect, as no content analysis is available. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeter, add the IP 188.114.97.3 to deny lists, monitor for outbound connections to Cloudflare‑associated hosts, and update detection rules to include the observed page title and the specific nameservers terry.ns.cloudflare.com and ximena.ns.cloudflare.com. Ongoing telemetry should be collected to confirm any credential or wallet capture attempts.
