This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-12 16:30:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-12 19:40:08 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-24 00:15:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ce201-b3c1-76be-a6a6-fffbbfb2b803/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ai-cryptex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ai-cryptex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ai-cryptex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ai-cryptex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ai-cryptex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-18 17:37:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ai-cryptex.com as an active phishing domain posing a medium risk level. The site presents itself under the title "ai-cryptex.com — Професиональный трейдинг проще с ИИ," suggesting a focus on professional trading aided by artificial intelligence, likely aiming to lure users interested in financial services. This domain is associated with generic phishing tactics designed to harvest sensitive data from unsuspecting visitors. The domain ai-cryptex.com was registered recently on March 12, 2026, through Name.com, Inc., which is a common registrar but does not guarantee legitimacy. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.183.34 and has been identified on two separate security blocklists, indicating prior suspicious activity or reports. VirusTotal analysis shows limited detection, with 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain, which suggests emerging or partial recognition by security tools. The domain’s infrastructure and ongoing usage patterns align with typical phishing operations exploiting trust in AI-driven financial trading platforms. Currently, ai-cryptex.com remains active and should be treated with caution. PhishDestroy recommends that users avoid interacting with this domain, especially refraining from submitting any personal or financial information. Security teams should consider blocking or monitoring this domain on their networks. Continued vigilance is advised as the threat landscape evolves, and the domain could expand its phishing campaigns or change infrastructure to evade detection. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3ecfaad34048b62a3c9310ad05a75fad TLS cert SHA-256: 85ac1cefa6d66dc39981854613e5f0c557a6fd598d0c3492caa478ae00973ba1 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ai-cryptex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ai-cryptex.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
