# PhishDestroy threat dossier — exchange-okx.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 11:19:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/exchange-okx.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: OKX ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: grannbo.ns.cloudflare.com, pete.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-13 Expires: 2027-06-13 Page title: OKX全球领先的比特币交易平台 | 比特币行情价格 | 欧易 ## 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: 2026-06-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 19:09:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 17:12:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 13:17:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efa9b-7563-75c8-9ba1-b29e853ef7a5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e3e2d683-856a-45e0-a3d0-7e00dd4b7e71 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/exchange-okx.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.exchange-okx.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=exchange-okx.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/exchange-okx.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/exchange-okx.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:13:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged for elevated-risk brand impersonation targeting OKX, a major cryptocurrency exchange platform. The threat involves a fraudulent website designed to replicate the legitimate OKX interface, specifically its Chinese-language portal, as evidenced by the page title 'OKX全球领先的比特币交易平台 | 比特币行情价格 | 欧易.' The objective appears to be credential theft or unauthorized account access, enabling subsequent cryptocurrency theft or unauthorized transactions. Analysis indicates the domain exchange-okx.xyz was registered on June 13, 2024, through Spaceship, Inc., a domain registrar. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which may be part of a content delivery network or proxy service to obscure its true origin. Detection metrics show limited but concerning visibility: the domain appears on one security blocklist, while VirusTotal reports 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. The domain has since been taken offline, though its prior activity and registration details remain relevant for historical threat analysis. Mitigation against this brand impersonation threat requires heightened user awareness and technical controls. Users should verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official exchange URLs and enabling multi-factor authentication on all cryptocurrency accounts. Organizations should implement domain monitoring to detect newly registered lookalike domains, particularly those mimicking high-value financial or crypto platforms. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or IP reputation-based blocking, can prevent access to known malicious infrastructure like 188.114.96.3. Given the domain's recent creation and limited detection history, continuous monitoring of related infrastructure is recommended to identify potential resurgence or evolution of this campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-092FB1 Favicon MD5: 0d103038f292a76aa3a177eabccf8274 ## 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/exchange-okx.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exchange-okx.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
