# PhishDestroy threat dossier — crypex-tex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-27 11:56:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crypex-tex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- HIGH THREAT — malicious activity confirmed Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 178.32.82.176 (FR, Paris) ASN: AS16276 OVH SAS Hosting org: OVH Ltd Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] crypex-tex.com Generic Phishing Alert The domain crypex-tex.com was registered through NameSilo, LLC on 07 February 2026. It is currently resolved to the IPv4 address 178.32.82.176 and uses the authoritative name servers ns3.ddoscure.com and ns4.ddoscure.com. No additional hosting or ASN information is provided in the intelligence feed. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, indicating that at least one external sinkhole or reputation engine has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal has processed the domain with scans from 91 anti‑malware engines, none of which raised a detection; this absence of flags does not constitute a safety guarantee and should be interpreted as a lack of current signatures rather than evidence of benign behavior. The threat type is classified as generic phishing, and the operational status is listed as active as of the report date (27 July 2026). No public page title, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or Safe Browsing verdicts are available, leaving the content and transport‑layer characteristics unverified. Defenders should therefore treat the domain as hostile: block DNS resolution for crypex-tex.com at the recursive resolver level, add the IP address 178.32.82.176 to outbound deny lists, and ensure that any email or web traffic that references the domain is quarantined or dropped. Continuous monitoring of the name servers ns3.ddoscure.com and ns4.ddoscure.com for changes, as well as periodic re‑scans on VirusTotal and other multi‑engine platforms, is recommended to capture any evolution of the payload or the emergence of new detections. Because the registration date is recent, threat actors may still be refining their campaign, so rapid response and containment are advised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-D71B24 Favicon MD5: 8de500bf85bb190089a0ea1b6ad0e2e8 TLS cert SHA-256: d24d147b4fba4782ba3f304843b12c50f6f18a06e8d998a7e7885c881b7f5666 ## 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/crypex-tex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crypex-tex.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.
