gateflux.org is a crypto wallet drainer designed to steal funds and tokens directly from victims' cryptocurrency wallets. The site presented itself under the page title "Dashboard," suggesting it posed as some kind of account or portfolio interface aimed at crypto users. PhishDestroy first identified it on 2026-09-11. The domain is now offline and DNS-inactive as of 2026-10-16, meaning it is no longer reachable.
How the scam works
Wallet drainers lure victims into connecting their crypto wallets through a convincing interface — in this case styled as a "Dashboard" — then prompt them to sign a malicious transaction or approval. That single action hands the attacker permission to transfer all tokens and NFTs out of the wallet without any further interaction from the victim. The theft is instant and, because blockchain transactions are irreversible, the funds cannot be recovered once drained.
Evidence
Eight of 89 engines on VirusTotal flagged gateflux.org as malicious as of 2026-09-21, with detections from alphaMountain.ai, Ermes, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, SOCRadar, and Sophos. The domain also appears in five OTX threat-intelligence pulses, indicating active tracking by the broader security community. It is listed on both the PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer blocklists, the latter of which specialises specifically in on-chain drainer detection.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-03-22 through NAMECHEAP INC, giving it roughly six months of potential operation before going dark. It was hosted on Cloudflare's network at IP 188.114.96.3 in the United States, and used a Let's Encrypt TLS certificate issued under the YE1 authority — a free, automated certificate that adds a padlock without implying legitimacy.
What to do
If you visited gateflux.org and connected your wallet, immediately revoke all token approvals using a trusted approval-management tool, then transfer remaining assets to a fresh wallet address. If you signed any transaction on the site, treat that wallet as fully compromised and move funds without delay. Do not reuse the affected wallet. Security teams and wallet providers should ensure gateflux.org and its associated IP 188.114.96.3 are blocked across their infrastructure, and should monitor the five OTX pulses linked to this domain for any related indicators.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
