Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinxcrypto.us/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Scam

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
AlienVault OTX:  3 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      157.250.199.66 (US, Secaucus)
ASN:             AS19318 Interserver, Inc
Hosting org:     Interserver, Inc
Page title:      CoinxCrypto Hub – Safeguarding Your Investments
HTTP response:   200

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / R12
Expires:    2026-08-12
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 27ae1cf9c499af4431a4d81d7f7fa8c08fe69418816299cfbc3383e5b8696719

## 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:    2026-06-09 17:31:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-09 17:27:47 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-14 16:20:45 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 18:51:07 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 00:36:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This analysis concerns coinxcrypto.us, an infrastructure associated with a generic_phishing campaign presenting itself as 'CoinxCrypto Hub – Safeguarding Your Investments'. The content imitates a cryptocurrency investment dashboard, aiming to induce user trust and potentially facilitate credential or wallet interaction compromise. No verified evidence of a dedicated wallet drainer kit is observed in the available intelligence; the deployment appears to rely on templated CMS-driven phishing infrastructure commonly used for rapid replication.

Technical indicators show the domain resolves to IP 157.250.199.66 and is hosted using a stack including WordPress, MySQL, PHP, LiteSpeed, and frontend components such as particles.js, Underscore.js, Swiper, and Slick. SSL certification is issued via Let's Encrypt. Security telemetry reports a VirusTotal detection ratio of 5/95, presence across 3 independent security blocklists, and inclusion in 3 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, indicating maximal risk classification. Registrar and creation date details are not present in the available intelligence set, limiting attribution of initial registration infrastructure.

At present, coinxcrypto.us is confirmed as taken offline, indicating disruption of active hosting and mitigation of immediate user exposure. However, historical indicators suggest opportunistic phishing deployment patterns, with infrastructure likely designed for rapid redeployment under new domains while retaining similar WordPress-based templates and hosting characteristics linked to 157.250.199.66. Despite takedown status, residual risk remains due to potential clone campaigns, IP reassignment, and reuse of identical frontend components. Continued monitoring of blocklist updates, OTX pulses, and newly registered domains exhibiting similar fingerprints is recommended to detect resurgence and prevent reinfection cycles.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      27ae1cf9c499af4431a4d81d7f7fa8c08fe69418816299cfbc3383e5b8696719

## 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.
