Is hashflow-dex.pro a scam? TrustSniffer's high-risk assessment: 3/100

Security Alert

Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.

Hashflow-dex.pro is a single-page decentralized-exchange style website. Its homepage is titled "Hashflow DEX — Zero-Slippage Swaps via RFQ" and promotes trading with a request-for-quote execution model. It presents itself as a crypto token-swap venue, so its apparent purpose is to draw visitors into on-chain trading or wallet-linked activity. The domain is only a few months old, and nothing independently ties it to the real-world brand or operator it appears to invoke.

Scam/Impersonation Risk

Contradictory signals are present and they are decisive. The domain is blacklisted: it is flagged as malicious by multiple independent threat-intelligence sources, including several major security vendors. A phishing association was also recorded against the domain's web-archive history. Together these outweigh the few benign technical traits observed, which are a working transport-encryption certificate and stable page delivery. The homepage uses a polished protocol-style name, a hyphenated "dex" domain and a technical-sounding zero-slippage pitch. That is the profile typically used to attract wallet-holders, and the site has no independent link to any established exchange brand. Brand impersonation is not itself confirmed, and no conflicting legal identities were found. Browser-behaviour testing did not detect wallet-draining routines, clipboard tampering, hidden credential forms or cloaking, so the exact mechanism of harm is unconfirmed. The absence of such behaviour does not offset the blacklist. Abuse reports also exist against the hosting IP. Because that address belongs to a shared commercial hosting range, those reports are weaker evidence about this site specifically. Evidence:

• Homepage: the domain is flagged malicious by a substantial number of security engines, including three well-known endpoint-security vendors, and by a separate blacklist source.
• Homepage: the archive record carries a phishing-known marker for this domain.
• Hosting infrastructure: 5 abuse reports are attached to IP 186.2.175.35, attributed to shared infrastructure and not discounted.
• Homepage behaviour testing: 3 of 3 sandbox runs completed with no wallet-connect, drainer, clipboard or hidden-form activity, though most page requests went to external resources.

Regulatory Verification Notes

No licensing, registration or regulated-entity status could be established for the operator. The homepage shows no unambiguous corporate identity, and the operator's ownership and governance remain opaque. For a site inviting financial transactions, that opacity is a material concern, and it compounds the reputational findings. No third-party broker-database match exists for the site. The domain was registered very recently through a commercial registrar and has almost no archived history, so there is no track record to support the brand-style positioning. The on-site claims are not corroborated by any independent source. Evidence:

• Domain registered 2026-07-30 (~0.25 years old), expiring 2027-07-30, via registrar Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.Ş.
• Web archive holds 1 snapshot, in 2026 (1 year tracked), so there is no continuity of operation.
• Served from AS59692 (IQWEB - IQWeb FZ-LLC, AE).
• TLS certificate issued by YR1 (domain-validated only), valid to 2027-01-19. DV confirms control of the domain, not the operator's identity.
• Not listed in the DeFiLlama protocol directory, so no established protocol recognition backs the "DEX" positioning.

What to Verify Next

The priority is to compare the site against the official channels of the protocol whose name and tagline it uses, and to establish whether any genuine relationship exists. Independent confirmation of the operator's legal entity and any financial-services authorisation should come from the relevant public registries, not from the site. Any official support or contact channels should be confirmed through an independent route. Wallet interactions should not be tested on this domain, because the threat listings make a safe live test impossible. Security teams should also check whether the domain appears in any phishing lures, advertisements or social posts directing users to it. Evidence:

• Homepage title and swap-service claim: the brand association needs independent confirmation against the official protocol presence.
• Domain history: registered under 3 months before assessment, with a single archive capture.
• Threat listings: detections remain active across multiple sources and should be re-checked for any delisting.

Summary Verdict

The site's posture is clearly cautionary and high risk. Confirmed external threat detections drive that conclusion, and nothing in the site's technical profile offsets them. The operator's identity is unverified, and the domain has no operating history. The site cannot be treated as legitimate on the available evidence.

Infrastructure Integrity

The site resolves to a single IP address at a shared data-centre hosting provider in the United Arab Emirates. No CDN or WAF fronts it, so there is no protective layer mitigating the reputational findings. The server is directly exposed, and the infrastructure provides no assurance of legitimacy.

Closing Assessment

The site should be treated as unsafe for any sensitive interaction. Wallet connections, logins, credential entry and deposits or token approvals should all be avoided. At most, passive read-only viewing from an isolated environment is acceptable. Anyone who has already interacted with it should review and revoke wallet approvals, change any reused credentials, and report the domain to their security or fraud team.

Signals weighed against the site

• AbuseIPDB: 5 reports on hosting IP 186.2.175.35 (IQWeb FZ-LLC, Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit), 10% confidence. The reports are attributed to shared infrastructure, not specifically to this website.
