Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is interest-hydrex.app a Fake Crypto Wallet Scam Site? Analysis of the domain interest-hydrex.app indicates a high-risk phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain was registered on July 16, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with abusive registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is part of Cloudflare’s network, a common tactic to obscure the true hosting origin and evade IP-based blocking. The nameservers kip.ns.cloudflare.com and meera.ns.cloudflare.com further confirm Cloudflare’s involvement, providing additional anonymity and resilience against takedowns. Security vendors have begun flagging this domain, with 4 out of 91 engines on VirusTotal detecting malicious activity. While this detection rate is not exhaustive, it aligns with the domain’s presence on three independent security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, which specialize in cryptocurrency-related threats. These blocklists typically require concrete evidence of fraudulent behavior before listing, suggesting the domain is actively engaged in phishing or scam operations. The domain’s recent creation and immediate flagging by multiple security sources are strong indicators of malicious intent. No legitimate service would register a domain and trigger security alerts within days unless it was designed for abuse. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and implement blocking at the DNS or network level. Organizations handling cryptocurrency transactions should ensure their users are warned against interacting with interest-hydrex.app, as it is likely designed to harvest wallet credentials or distribute malware. Further monitoring of the domain’s behavior is recommended, though current evidence supports immediate mitigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-D91207 TLS cert SHA-256: e1a47cc51ac94c923070b8db165b9f8ff0d68ae194467bb23061776d11ea0c26 ## 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/interest-hydrex.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=interest-hydrex.app 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.
