No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-13 14:49:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-13 12:54:44 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/019f5b95-9369-77d7-95a2-dab76f47fc69/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/55ee4ca0-5d13-4fb0-bbf9-b8476c6f8d5c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/api-ox.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.api-ox.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=api-ox.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/api-ox.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/api-ox.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-13 15:00:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, api-ox.com, was registered on July 8 2026 through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. The authoritative name servers are a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com and c.dnspod.com, and the domain resolves to the IPv4 address 45.59.114.121. An HTTPS service is available using a Let’s Encrypt certificate (issuer: Let’s Encrypt / YR1) and the web server returns HTTP 200 with the page title “Success!”. The site is currently listed as active and classified as a generic phishing infrastructure. The available data do not reveal the specific phishing campaign, targeted brand, or payload delivered; the content of the landing page beyond the title has not been examined. Consequently, the full scope of the malicious activity remains uncertain, including whether credential harvesting forms or additional redirect chains are present. Defenders should treat api-ox.com as a high‑confidence indicator of compromise: block outbound connections to the domain and its resolved IP, monitor DNS queries for the associated dnspod name servers, and incorporate the TLS fingerprint into detection rules. Ongoing observation is advised to capture any changes in content or additional infrastructure that may be deployed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260713-BF72E6 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.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=api-ox.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
