# PhishDestroy threat dossier — fraxdesktop.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 06:27:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fraxdesktop.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: phishing_login Targeted brand: frax ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.58.194 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["etienne.ns.cloudflare.com", "imani.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-15 Page title: Frax Desktop — The Future of Digital Money on Your Desktop ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b5f95cfdf028eaf5d71edb715ecd4d553dd73ea4e9e0571867de4e132bb9d474 ## 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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 03:39:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-15 03:37:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2910-2433-72fd-8fe8-f3f8608ec898/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fraxdesktop.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fraxdesktop.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fraxdesktop.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fraxdesktop.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fraxdesktop.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 05:30:51 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 as a brand impersonation threat targeting Frax Finance users through a fraudulent desktop application. The site presents itself as "Frax Desktop — The Future of Digital Money on Your Desktop," mimicking the legitimate Frax ecosystem to deceive visitors into downloading malicious software. Analysis indicates the domain was designed to harvest credentials, exfiltrate cryptocurrency wallet data, or deploy remote access trojans under the guise of a trusted financial tool. The elevated risk level stems from its convincing branding and targeted approach toward users seeking desktop-based cryptocurrency management solutions. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators confirming malicious intent. The domain was registered on May 15, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to IP address 104.21.58.194 and employs Cloudflare for hosting, a common tactic to obscure origin servers and evade detection. Security vendors have flagged the domain in 5 out of 95 VirusTotal scans, while Gridinsoft assigns it a trust score of 0/100. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and was previously blocked by PhishDestroy. The use of Let's Encrypt SSL and HTTP/3 further suggests an attempt to appear legitimate while masking its true purpose. Users who visited fraxdesktop.com or downloaded files from it should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. Disconnect the affected device from the internet to prevent data exfiltration or command-and-control communication. Scan the system using updated antivirus software to detect and remove malware, paying particular attention to processes masquerading as Frax-related applications. Reset all passwords for cryptocurrency wallets, exchanges, and financial accounts accessed from the compromised device, and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor account activity for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious findings to the legitimate Frax support channels. If wallet credentials were entered on the site, consider transferring assets to a new wallet to prevent theft. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: dadd1983e3d4b184aeeba85a89205f14 TLS cert SHA-256: b5f95cfdf028eaf5d71edb715ecd4d553dd73ea4e9e0571867de4e132bb9d474 ## 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/fraxdesktop.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fraxdesktop.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.
