PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:20:42 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-27 20:21:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:24:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198f6c2-d78b-757b-b28c-796fc1ef26a3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/flex-express.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.flex-express.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=flex-express.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/flex-express.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/flex-express.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 19:56:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] flex-express.com — Brand Impersonation Investigation The domain flex-express.com was registered on February 21, 2026 and currently resolves to the IPv4 address 185.255.122.94, which is assigned to Virtual Systems LLC in Ukraine (AS30860). The site returns an HTTP 301 redirect and presents a page titled "flex express - Transport and Logistics". Infrastructure analysis shows the host runs Apache HTTP Server with PHP, and incorporates client‑side libraries including jQuery, jQuery UI, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Contentsquare. The SSL certificate is identified as R11, and the domain is serviced by the nameservers ns1.dns-redirect.com and ns2.dns-redirect.com. Reputation data indicates a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 and a single security blocklist entry; PhishDestroy has already listed the domain as blocked, yet it remains active. VirusTotal scanning reports one of ninety‑three AV engines flagging the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious intent. The domain is classified as a cryptocurrency‑related scam and is noted to impersonate the brand "across". While the exact phishing page content has not been examined, the combination of a recent registration, low trust score, redirection behavior, and the presence of analytics and tracking services is consistent with credential‑stealing or payment‑diversion operations. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and network layers, monitor for outbound connections to the associated IP, and update web‑filtering rules to include both the primary domain and its redirect target. Continuous re‑assessment is advised, given the active status and potential for rapid content changes. ## 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/flex-express.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=flex-express.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
