PhishDestroy’s automated assessment classifies ghexu.cc as an impersonation phishing page. The page title captured on 2026-10-21 reads “AliExpress”. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-21 and returned an HTTP 200 response at that time.
How the scam works
Impersonation phishing sites copy the look and wording of a legitimate brand’s login or checkout pages to trick users into submitting their credentials or personal data. Victims who enter such information may have their accounts compromised or be used for further fraud.
Evidence
VirusTotal reported 13 detections from 92 engines on 2026-10-21, with 11 classified as malicious and 2 as suspicious. Google Safe Browsing checked the domain on the same day and did not flag it. urlscan.io captured the site on 2026-10-21 and gave a malicious verdict with a score of 100, labeling it as phishing targeting AliExpress. OpenPhish lists ghexu.cc on its blocklist, and PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist also contains the domain; OTX shows four related pulses as of 2026-10-21.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered with Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on 2025-10-31. Hosting records show the site resolved to IP 172.67.193.205, part of Cloudflare’s network in the United States, and a Cloudflare web‑application firewall was observed.
What to do
Users should not enter any AliExpress credentials on ghexu.cc; if they have already done so, they should change their AliExpress password and review account activity. Organizations should block the domain ghexu.cc at the DNS or proxy level and monitor logs for any connections to the recorded IP. No wallet approvals are involved, so wallet‑related remediation is not required.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including ghexu.cc)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
