Network Security Intelligence Registrar context
Registrar contextNiceNIC
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
dexmines.io is a domain on the PhishDestroy blocklist. Its name combines "DEX" and "mines", which suggests decentralized trading or crypto mining, so it is likely aimed at crypto users. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-12, and it was still online on 2026-10-19, where it redirected visitors elsewhere instead of serving its own page.
How the scam works
We have not yet tied this domain to a specific scheme. The strongest signals are Spamhaus's phishing listing and several security vendors that flag it, and both point to a site built to take something from visitors. With a crypto-themed name, that usually means login details, a seed phrase, or a wallet connection that leads to a malicious signature. The active redirect matters here: a link that looks like it goes to dexmines.io can send people to a different destination, and that destination can be changed at any time.
Evidence
On 2026-10-16, VirusTotal showed 7 of 92 engines flagging the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar and VIPRE. That is a minority of engines, but the vendors are unrelated and reached the same verdict independently. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL under the phishing category, a listing many mail filters enforce. Four AlienVault OTX threat pulses also reference it, which shows other researchers are tracking the domain as well.
Infrastructure
The domain resolves to Cloudflare's network, with the address geolocated to Canada. Because Cloudflare acts as a reverse proxy, the server that actually hosts the content is hidden from public view. The Google Trust Services certificate is the standard one issued for Cloudflare-fronted sites, so the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the site can be trusted.
What to do
If you visited dexmines.io without entering anything, close the tab and do not follow its redirect again. If you typed in a password, change it everywhere you reuse it and turn on app-based 2FA. If you entered a seed phrase, assume the wallet is compromised and move your funds to a new wallet. If you connected a wallet and signed anything, review and revoke unfamiliar token permissions. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and mail gateways and watch for internal links pointing to it.
No. PhishDestroy classifies dexmines.io as a phishing page (risk: critical, 88/100); it was first detected on 2026-10-12. VirusTotal: 7/92 engines flag it. Listed on Spamhaus DBL. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is dexmines.io safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on dexmines.io. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
What should I do if I used dexmines.io?
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
Stored relationships are grouped by the exact matching attribute. A shared provider or registrar alone does not prove common ownership.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including dexmines.io)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
