# PhishDestroy threat dossier — axos.co.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 11:53:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/axos.co.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.93.83 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Moniker Online Services LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.nic.co.com", "ns2.nic.co.com", "ns3.nic.co.com", "ns4.nic.co.com"] Page title: 404 Not Found ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-05-29 21:26:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-29 21:25:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:29:32 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e74fa-5640-750e-b18f-d26f4ef20b8b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/axos.co.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.axos.co.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=axos.co.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/axos.co.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/axos.co.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 04:10:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain axos.co.com was identified as a phishing resource targeting users of Axos Bank, a financial services institution. Analysis confirms this domain operated as a generic phishing site designed to harvest login credentials, account details, or other sensitive financial information. As of the latest verification, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity suggests it was actively used in fraudulent campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to the IP address 104.21.93.83, a Cloudflare-hosted endpoint. Detection metrics indicate that 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while it appeared on at least one security blocklist. The domain was registered through Moniker Online Services LLC, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. Additional technical indicators include the use of Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3, suggesting an attempt to leverage modern web technologies to evade detection or improve performance. The page title returned a 404 Not Found error, which may indicate either a takedown or a deliberate attempt to obscure its malicious purpose. Current status confirms the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk to end users. However, the infrastructure and registration patterns observed warrant continued monitoring. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address (104.21.93.83) at the network level. Financial institutions should alert customers to verify URLs carefully, particularly those resembling legitimate banking domains. Security teams are encouraged to review logs for connections to this domain or IP, as prior interactions may indicate compromised credentials or ongoing fraud attempts. Proactive measures, such as implementing multi-factor authentication and domain-based email filtering, are recommended to mitigate similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 90addfa30466086f99f451275da98849 ## 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/axos.co.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=axos.co.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.
