Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates that the domain app-ox.co was registered on July 11, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and remains active. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 45.59.114.121 and returns HTTP 200 responses. The authoritative name servers are a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, and c.dnspod.com, which are typical of the DNSPod service. TLS is provided by a Let’s Encrypt certificate (YR1), confirming that encrypted connections are available. The only observed page content is the title tag “Success!”, with no additional page data disclosed. The combination of a recently created domain, a generic success title, and the classification as a generic_phishing threat suggests the site may be used to host phishing pages, although the specific payload or targeted brand has not been identified. The short lifespan and lack of publicly documented content increase uncertainty about the current malicious activity. Defenders should consider adding app-ox.co to block lists, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address, and enforce email filtering rules that flag URLs pointing to this domain. Ongoing observation is recommended to capture any changes in content or additional infrastructure that could confirm active phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260713-508162 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/app-ox.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app-ox.co 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.
