okx-pay[.]vip

Analysis of okx-pay.vip, observed as an active malicious infrastructure as of 24 July 2026, shows a domain created on 21 February 2026 and presently taken offline. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 47.243.197.228, which is hosted in Hong Kong by Alibaba Cloud and is associated with the registrar Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameserver records point to b3.share-dns.net and a3.share-dns.com, both typical of fast‑flux or shared‑hosting services. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy, indicating that at least one trusted sink‑hole has identified it as malicious.

VirusTotal scans report that eight of ninety‑three security vendors flag the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of abuse. The threat profile is classified as a brand‑impersonation crypto scam targeting the OKX exchange, with the domain name deliberately mimicking the brand. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title information are available, and the site has not been indexed by major safe‑browsing services or Open Threat Exchange feeds, leaving those vectors unverified.

Defenders should treat any traffic to okx-pay.vip as hostile, enforce network‑level blocking, and monitor for related C‑2 indicators tied to the hosting IP and the shared nameservers. Ongoing observation of the registrar Gname.com and the Alibaba Cloud ASN is advisable, as the infrastructure could be repurposed for additional phishing or crypto‑draining campaigns.
