Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain app-convexfinance.net as an active generic phishing page that impersonated the legitimate Convex Finance platform to harvest user credentials. The fraudulent site presented a spoofed login interface designed to trick visitors into entering sensitive account information, which would then be transmitted to attacker-controlled servers. The campaign relied on visual deception and rushed urgency to bypass user scrutiny and bypass automated detection mechanisms. This domain was flagged by only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal despite its clear malicious intent, complicating early detection for users without specialized tools. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on February 09, 2026, and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3 before being taken offline after reports reached security teams. The page title deliberately included redundant subdomains (www.www.app-convexfinance.net) to appear legitimate while exposing its fraudulent nature upon close inspection. If you accessed this domain at any point, immediately change passwords for Convex Finance or any related cryptocurrency services. Enable multi-factor authentication where available and review account activity for unauthorized transactions. Monitor connected wallets and applications for signs of compromise, and consider revoking any permissions granted to suspicious domains. Report the incident to the legitimate Convex Finance support channels and your organization’s security team if this domain appeared in a work context. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c278d4c2ded1f014c2344aca845ab11 TLS cert SHA-256: 20fafc1ed286526a30070c726c742655cb9feb9a22d03d0ae664c9eb8d91895b ## 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/app-convexfinance.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app-convexfinance.net 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.
