# PhishDestroy threat dossier — distributions-edgex.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 02:12:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/distributions-edgex.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.209.119 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: kayleigh.ns.cloudflare.com, titan.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-02 Expires: 2027-07-02 Page title: edgeX Exchange: Ultra-Fast DEX Trading with Deep Liquidity & Low Fees ## 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: 2026-07-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-04 18:14:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-05 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 18:17:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2de8-a282-7203-8ba8-c453f9b74e45/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/distributions-edgex.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.distributions-edgex.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=distributions-edgex.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/distributions-edgex.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/distributions-edgex.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-04 18:24:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, distributions-edgex.xyz, operates as a generic phishing site designed to mimic a decentralized exchange (DEX) trading platform. The page title, 'edgeX Exchange: Ultra-Fast DEX Trading with Deep Liquidity & Low Fees,' suggests an attempt to deceive users into believing they are accessing a legitimate cryptocurrency trading service. The infrastructure is engineered to harvest credentials, private keys, or financial details from unsuspecting victims under the guise of offering low-fee trading and deep liquidity. Analysis indicates the site targeted individuals familiar with cryptocurrency platforms, leveraging urgency and perceived legitimacy to facilitate fraudulent transactions or data theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 2, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with phishing and fraudulent domains. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.209.119 and is currently offline. Security vendor detections on VirusTotal report 2 out of 95 engines flagging the domain as malicious, a low but notable indicator of its deceptive nature. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, may provide a false sense of security to users, as phishing sites commonly employ valid certificates to appear legitimate. No additional blocklist entries were identified at the time of analysis, though the domain's creation date and registrar choice align with known phishing patterns. Users who visited distributions-edgex.xyz should immediately cease all interaction with the site and any associated links. Those who entered credentials or financial information should assume compromise and take the following steps: revoke access to any connected cryptocurrency wallets, monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions, and update passwords for all sensitive platforms. If private keys or recovery phrases were shared, affected wallets should be considered fully compromised, and funds should be transferred to a new, secure wallet. Additionally, users are advised to scan their devices for malware, as phishing sites may deploy malicious payloads. Reporting the domain to relevant cybersecurity organizations and cryptocurrency abuse databases can aid in broader mitigation efforts. ## 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/distributions-edgex.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=distributions-edgex.xyz 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.
