Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies apyxfi.com as an active fake investment savings scam, currently under investigation for phishing with a high-risk profile. This domain mimics legitimate investment platforms to deceive users seeking high-yield returns, specifically targeting individuals interested in savings with double-digit yields. This domain was flagged through automated monitoring and exhibits multiple red flags: it resolves to IP 104.21.79.140, is registered via NAMECHEAP INC, and was created on March 12, 2026. The page title—"Apyx - Transform Your Investments with Double-Digit Yield Savings"—clearly misrepresents its intent. Despite active phishing behavior, VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, indicating that standard threat feeds have not yet flagged this domain. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate adds a false layer of legitimacy. At the time of detection, apyxfi.com remains unresolved on major blocklists and shows no trust score impairment, likely due to its recent registration (seed: 5acb98). Users should avoid interacting with apyxfi.com entirely. This is a classic fake investment scam where threat actors create urgency around unrealistic returns to steal funds or harvest credentials. If you visited this site, do not enter any personal or financial information. Report the domain to your browser or security provider, clear your browser cache, and monitor accounts for unusual activity. Domain registrars and hosting providers should be alerted to expedite takedown given the clear malicious intent and zero current detection coverage. Always verify investment platforms through official channels and trusted sources before engaging. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260505-A1D632 Favicon MD5: 39b79e7793a954a8a0887b35207e5724 TLS cert SHA-256: 2e65ea49b2e220911005923a992aa4fe401639c9b5679a50c166a94be4a440e4 ## 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/apyxfi.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apyxfi.com 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.
