Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies hiodax.com as an active cryptocurrency exchange phishing domain engaged in credential harvesting and fund theft. The domain resolves to IP 104.21.35.186, registered on March 04, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 detection engines flagging the domain, and no presence on major blocklists has been observed. The SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt may be used to lend false legitimacy to the fraudulent site. This domain was flagged under investigation due to its recent creation date and zero detections despite clear phishing indicators. While the lack of VirusTotal coverage may suggest low visibility, it also indicates a newly deployed threat with potential to evade early detection. The use of a legitimate-looking SSL certificate further masks malicious intent, targeting users who rely on HTTPS indicators for trust. To mitigate exposure to hiodax.com, avoid visiting or interacting with the domain entirely. Block the IP 104.21.35.186 at the network level and add hiodax.com to browser-based blocklists or hosts files. Users considering cryptocurrency transactions should verify exchange URLs through official channels only. Report any interactions with this domain to your security team and relevant cybercrime units to aid in takedown efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-88A0F8 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 0d097c37112eb6941d75d9c34cf1ffbc0d2a7ba5f90cbb59990f62195f5aab36 ## 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/hiodax.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hiodax.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.
