PhishDestroy identifies chainex.global as an active crypto drainer campaign under investigation. The domain poses as a cryptocurrency exchange platform, specifically targeting users through deceptive withdrawal or transaction pages designed to siphon funds. As of the latest intelligence, the threat remains active with no confirmed takedowns or remediation efforts reported. chainex.global was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on March 31, 2026. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a legitimate SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 vendors, indicating it is not yet flagged by mainstream security tools. The domain has no recorded presence on major blocklists, and its trust scores remain unverified due to its recent creation. These technical indicators suggest an emerging threat with low immediate detection but high potential for exploitation given its impersonation of a cryptocurrency service. This domain is currently active and represents a significant risk to cryptocurrency users. PhishDestroy recommends immediate avoidance and verification of chainex.global through its threat intelligence platform. Users who have engaged with this domain should revoke any connected wallet permissions and monitor transactions for unauthorized activity. Security teams are advised to block the domain at the network level and report indicators to relevant threat intelligence feeds. Further monitoring is required to assess the full scope of this campaign and identify additional infrastructure associated with the threat actor.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
