# PhishDestroy threat dossier — codex-console.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 00:41:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/codex-console.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.153.61 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: MAT BAO CORPORATION Nameservers: clara.ns.cloudflare.com, evan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-02 Expires: 2027-05-02 Page title: CLI – Codex | OpenAI Developers HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 69497545a3f556b08b13dcab61932194de28d033825477bffeee3c6da90b91e7 ## 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: 2026-05-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 22:41:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 20:43:22 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 02:16:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 00:03:33 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f248e-bb46-761c-8d37-d6c2115c2902/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/610e113a-3a38-4e24-bf95-c9d1494f55ab Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/codex-console.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.codex-console.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=codex-console.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/codex-console.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/codex-console.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 22:44:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, codex-console.com, is under investigation for hosting a phishing campaign designed to impersonate legitimate login portals. Analysis indicates the site employs generic phishing techniques, likely targeting users of web-based services or developer consoles to harvest credentials. No specific brand impersonation or cryptocurrency drainer kit signatures have been confirmed at this stage, though the site's structure aligns with credential-harvesting phishing pages. The page title, 'Problem loading page,' suggests an attempt to mimic error pages to deceive users into entering sensitive information or downloading malicious payloads. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on May 02, 2026, through MAT BAO CORPORATION, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.3.62, which has been observed in prior phishing campaigns. The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to lend legitimacy to malicious sites. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. No entries were found in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) or other major blocklists, further suggesting its low detection rate at this time. The domain remains active, and no takedown actions have been observed. Given the lack of detections and the use of a reputable SSL provider, the site poses a moderate risk to users who may be lured into entering credentials. Organizations and individuals are advised to block access to the domain and IP address 104.21.3.62 at the network level. Users should be educated to recognize generic phishing indicators, such as unexpected login prompts or error pages, and to verify domain authenticity before entering sensitive information. Continuous monitoring is recommended, as the domain may evolve to include more sophisticated impersonation techniques or payload delivery mechanisms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-AB1B13 Favicon MD5: e664220aed56af8aa8a33e370d7cde56 TLS cert SHA-256: 69497545a3f556b08b13dcab61932194de28d033825477bffeee3c6da90b91e7 ## 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/codex-console.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=codex-console.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.
