Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies edgex-exchanger.com as an active brand impersonation scam site targeting GMX users. The domain is currently live and engaged in fraudulent activities designed to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency exchange platforms. This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on November 5, 2023, and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. The page title displayed is "EdgeX Exchange - The Next-Generation Decentralized Exchange | edgex-exchanger.com," and the domain operates with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Current blocklist counts and trust scores indicate elevated risk exposure. The domain remains active as of the latest investigation with no signs of takedown. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with edgex-exchanger.com, verify any suspicious links using PhishDestroy, and report this domain immediately to enhance collective threat intelligence. Immediately cease any planned transactions involving this domain or associated addresses to prevent financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-4039D5 Favicon MD5: 5593d0013b97334d41da3df8f4a04ed2 TLS cert SHA-256: c5ce1048d55616c61e8b70c47f8891f566104c355cb2d09f92c3c45180f4b929 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/edgex-exchanger.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=edgex-exchanger.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
