# PhishDestroy threat dossier — api.cryptosnexus.com
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-21 15:26:44 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.cryptosnexus.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 48/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       HOSTINGER operations, UAB
Nameservers:     ["ns1.dns-parking.com", "ns2.dns-parking.com"]
HTTP response:   404

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-19 12:59:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 16:20:23 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:59 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

api.cryptosnexus.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

On July 19, 2026, the domain api.cryptosnexus.com has been confirmed as a phishing site. This domain is currently active and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy system, indicating a high risk level. The domain appears on one security blocklist, and an HTTP status code 301 suggests a redirection to another location, potentially used to deceive users. While the exact content of the site has not been analyzed, the redirection and blocklisting are strong indicators of a phishing operation. Security teams are advised to block access to this domain and monitor for any related activity. Further investigation into the destination of the redirection and the nature of the phishing attempt is recommended to fully understand the threat and protect users from potential credential theft or other malicious actions.

## 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.
