Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies coinchanger.cx as a medium-risk brand impersonation domain targeting Binance users. The site presents itself as a cryptocurrency exchange platform named "CoinChanger | Swap & Withdraw," aiming to mislead users into believing it is affiliated with the legitimate Binance brand. This tactic is often employed to harvest credentials or facilitate fraudulent transactions. The domain was registered recently on July 25, 2024, via CentralNic Ltd and resolves to the IP address 91.222.173.30. Despite being flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appearing on three security blocklists, the domain's overall trustworthiness is low, with Scamadviser assigning a score of 1/100 and Gridinsoft rating it 39/100. These indicators, along with its offline status, suggest that its infrastructure was likely temporary or quickly dismantled following detection. Currently, coinchanger.cx is offline, mitigating immediate risk to users. However, the impersonation attempt highlights the ongoing threat of fraudulent crypto platforms. PhishDestroy recommends that users avoid interaction with this domain and always verify URLs through official Binance channels. Security teams should monitor related IPs and registrant details for potential future abuse, maintaining vigilance against emerging phishing infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 5a1922861477bc08bb85fad3e2ca3a7269586704b212e46c3624026967610514 TLS cert SHA-256: 5b6d1117b78ecec201fb434b9941e685dd2ce8f88522c39f94389ef4256358c6 ## 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/coinchanger.cx/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinchanger.cx 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.
