## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: G-Data, Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.48.1 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       Key-Systems GmbH
Registered:      2025-07-04
Expires:         2026-07-04

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2025-07-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:23:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-22 01:41:12 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-11 12:16:11 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:14:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified dfxep.com as a domain involved in generic phishing activity, posing a low-level risk to users. Although the threat is not highly aggressive, phishing attempts can lead to credential compromise and unauthorized access if users fall victim. The domain’s generic phishing nature means it may impersonate various services to trick users into divulging sensitive information.

dfxep.com was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and remains active. It currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.48.1. Analysis reveals its inclusion on two security blocklists, and VirusTotal flags the domain with alerts from 2 out of 95 security vendors, indicating some detection but not a widespread consensus. This suggests the domain is still under observation but potentially in early stages of malicious use.

Users are advised to remain cautious when encountering communications referencing dfxep.com. Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from this domain. Security teams should ensure endpoints are updated and employ web-filtering rules to block interactions with this site. Reporting suspicious phishing attempts connected to dfxep.com helps improve threat intelligence and reduce risk within the community.

## 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.
