holddex[.]com

The domain holddex.com was registered on July 29, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It resolves to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:3030::6815:6001, which is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) in the United States. No TLS certificate is presented for the host, indicating the site was served over plain HTTP when it was active. The page title observed during the brief availability period was “Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | Holddex”, which aligns with the declared scam type of a crypto‑related fraud.

Google Safe Browsing has flagged the domain for social engineering, and VirusTotal reports that 13 of 95 scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service. A Gridinsoft trust score of 1 out of 100 further corroborates its low reputation. The infrastructure is identified as impersonating the 1inch brand, suggesting a targeted brand‑impersonation campaign aimed at cryptocurrency users.

The site’s current status is offline, and no SSL certificate was observed, limiting the ability to capture encrypted traffic. Because the domain is already listed on blocklists and exhibits multiple indicators of compromise, defenders should continue to block any outbound connections to the associated IP range, monitor for any re‑registration attempts, and add holddex.com to internal deny lists. Additional scrutiny of traffic to Cloudflare‑hosted IPv6 ranges may be warranted, though the specific content of the site is not available for deeper analysis. The observed evidence provides sufficient confidence to treat holddex.com as a high‑risk, brand‑impersonation crypto scam.
