PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

htx-io.carrd.co is a fake login page that impersonates HTX, the cryptocurrency exchange, and targets its account holders. It is built on Carrd, a free site builder, so the address borrows the builder's domain instead of anything owned by HTX. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-08-28, and it was still online on 2026-10-19.

How the scam works

The page is titled "HTX — Log In®", and the stray trademark symbol is a typical touch on hastily cloned brand pages. Victims usually arrive through ads, direct messages or fake support replies and are asked to sign in. Anything typed into the form, such as an email or phone number, password and one-time 2FA codes, goes to the operators. They can then use those details on the real exchange to take over the account and withdraw its balance before the owner notices.

Evidence

On 2026-10-12, 5 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the page: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and LevelBlue. That count is modest, so many browsers and security products will still load the page without a warning. Detection is stronger in the crypto-specific lists. MetaMask's phishing list and SEAL both carry the domain alongside PhishDestroy, which means wallet users and incident responders are already warned about it.

Infrastructure

The site is a subdomain on Carrd's platform, so there was no domain registration that could have revealed when the operation began. Traffic is served through Cloudflare, Inc., with the address geolocated to Canada. That puts the real origin behind a widely used proxy. The page uses a free, automatically issued Google Trust Services certificate. The padlock in the browser only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.

What to do

If you typed HTX credentials into this page, go to HTX directly and change your password immediately. Reset your 2FA, end all active sessions, and check your withdrawal address whitelist and API keys for anything you did not create. If you reused that password anywhere else, change it there as well. Contact HTX support at once if you see unfamiliar logins or withdrawals. Defenders should block this subdomain, report it to Carrd and Cloudflare, and warn users that real HTX logins never run on site-builder subdomains.

Questions about htx-io.carrd.co

Is htx-io.carrd.co legit?

No. PhishDestroy classifies htx-io.carrd.co as a HTX impersonation page (risk: critical, 90/100); it was first detected on 2026-08-28. VirusTotal: 5/92 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.

Is htx-io.carrd.co safe to connect a wallet?

No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on htx-io.carrd.co. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.

What should I do if I used htx-io.carrd.co?

Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

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 htx-io.carrd.co)
  • 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)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • 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
