# PhishDestroy threat dossier — api.zynxtool.cc
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-21 15:19:49 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.zynxtool.cc/

## 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:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Nameservers:     ["ns1.dnsowl.com", "ns2.dnsowl.com", "ns3.dnsowl.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 13:00:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 16:20:23 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:39 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

api.zynxtool.cc phishing redirect detected – block now

Analysis of api.zynxtool.cc indicates an active phishing infrastructure serving HTTP 301 redirects as of July 19, 2026. The domain is flagged on one security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and is currently returning a 301 status code, suggesting it is being used to funnel victims to downstream credential-harvesting or malware-distribution endpoints. VirusTotal reports three detections from 91 vendors, though the specific payload or brand impersonation has not been confirmed through static or dynamic analysis. No page title, phishing kit fingerprint, or targeted brand is currently documented. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and implement immediate network-level blocks. Given the 301 behavior, monitoring for newly observed redirect targets linked to this domain is recommended to identify emerging phishing campaigns. If internal logs show user traffic to api.zynxtool.cc, investigate for potential credential exposure or secondary infections.

## 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.
