## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: MEXC

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"]
Registered:      2026-06-08
Page title:      Log In™ |Mexc®®®

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:34:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, apps-meaxcio.wixstudio.com, is identified as a credential phishing endpoint specifically targeting users of the MEXC cryptocurrency exchange platform. The site operates under the guise of brand impersonation, presenting itself as a legitimate login portal to harvest sensitive user credentials. As of the latest analysis, the domain has been taken offline.  Analysis indicates the domain was flagged by 5 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, reflecting a moderate but notable detection rate. It appears on three distinct security blocklists: PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on June 08, 2026, and employed a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The site utilized multiple technologies, including Wix, React, Google Cloud, Lodash, HSTS, Google Cloud CDN, and HTTP/3. The page title, Log In™ |Mexc®®®, further confirms the intent to impersonate MEXC’s official branding.  The domain is currently offline, reducing immediate risk to end users. However, organizations and individuals are advised to update security controls to block this domain at the DNS and network perimeter levels. Security teams should review logs for any prior connections to apps-meaxcio.wixstudio.com and monitor for related phishing infrastructure, particularly domains using similar naming conventions or hosted on Wixstudio subdomains. Users who may have interacted with this site should reset credentials immediately and enable multi-factor authentication on all financial and cryptocurrency accounts.

## 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.
