No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-13 14:46:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-13 12:49:00 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 17:15:34 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f5b85-6458-75bd-8358-aee7e6a2e913/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e2868020-4db1-4620-b1ef-48d8362929d0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/api-ox.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.api-ox.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=api-ox.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/api-ox.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/api-ox.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-13 15:00:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain api-ox.app was registered on 2026-07-13 via Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com and immediately resolved to the IPv4 address 45.59.114.121. DNS resolution is served by the authoritative name servers a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com and c.dnspod.com. The site presents a valid TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (YR1) and returns HTTP status code 200, with the page title “Success!”. The current intelligence tags the site as a generic phishing operation and lists its status as active and under investigation. No additional content analysis is available; the page title alone does not reveal the phishing vector or targeted brand. The rapid creation date, use of free TLS, and reliance on dnspod.com name servers are consistent with disposable malicious infrastructure. Defenders should add the domain and its resolved IP address to blocklists, enforce DNS sinkholing for the associated name servers, and monitor network traffic for outbound connections to 45.59.114.121. Continuous observation is recommended to capture any future payloads or credential‑harvesting pages that may be deployed behind the “Success!” landing page. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260713-779318 TLS cert SHA-256: 9c8af9430cf174cdf3af8dc3bacd674ade16376b76a884914ec77c295914e3d2 ## 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 (operator 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/api-ox.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=api-ox.app 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
