# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cheapexr.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 18:49:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cheapexr.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 46/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Netcraft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.18.74.116 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: West263 International Limited Nameservers: ns1.ec-dns.com, ns2.ec-dns.com Registered: 2026-04-13 Expires: 2027-04-13 Page title: 500 Internal Server Error ## 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: 2026-04-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 17:45:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 15:46:03 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-02 17:46:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2380-69aa-753a-a97e-f3aad1cd86e3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/16057405-2f61-4877-9101-765145f5fc0e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cheapexr.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cheapexr.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cheapexr.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cheapexr.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cheapexr.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 17:55:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, cheapexr.com, is flagged as a generic phishing threat designed to impersonate a discount or e-commerce portal. Analysis indicates its primary objective is to deceive users into entering sensitive information, such as login credentials or payment details, under the guise of offering discounted products or services. The domain exhibits characteristics typical of phishing infrastructure, including a recently established registration and minimal initial detection by security vendors, suggesting an attempt to evade automated defenses during early deployment phases. Infrastructure analysis reveals that cheapexr.com was registered on April 13, 2026, through West263 International Limited, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.18.74.116, which is part of a content delivery network known to host both legitimate and malicious sites. At the time of assessment, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain as malicious, indicating limited initial detection. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site’s content. The page title, 'Problem loading page,' suggests either a placeholder or a deliberate attempt to mimic technical errors to lower user suspicion. Users who visited cheapexr.com should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. If any credentials or payment information were entered, those details should be considered compromised and changed immediately across all platforms where they were reused. Affected users are advised to monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions and enable multi-factor authentication on critical services. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect any secondary payloads or malware that may have been delivered. Network-level blocking of the domain and its associated IP address (104.18.74.116) is advised to prevent further exposure. Organizations should update their blocklists to include this domain and its indicators of compromise for proactive defense. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-B641A7 ## 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/cheapexr.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cheapexr.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
