No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-29 00:45:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 21:49:18 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-30 18:06:38 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd60d-4f73-70ed-a517-d7fee1b40953/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a40a73e4-c015-4da2-a9b7-3c6e44683138 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kaonex.win crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kaonex.win Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kaonex.win AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kaonex.win URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kaonex.win/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-29 00:45:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Domain kaonex.win is an active generic phishing site classified as a cryptocurrency wallet drainer kit. It does not explicitly impersonate a single consumer brand but functions as a credential harvester and crypto-stealing portal. The backend infrastructure is likely configured to prompt victims for wallet connections or seed phrase entry under false pretenses. PhishDestroy analysis reveals kaonex.win was registered and became active within the last 30 days. The domain’s VirusTotal score stands at 3/95 security vendors detecting malicious activity, indicating low but present detection. The domain uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate and is hosted on infrastructure associated with low-reputation IPs. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet blacklisted the domain, and as of this report, it remains unlisted on major threat intelligence feeds. Registrar data shows privacy protection enabled, obscuring the registrant’s identity. These factors contribute to its elevated risk profile. The campaign is currently active and propagating through social media and messaging platforms under the guise of promotional offers or giveaways. Immediate remediation is difficult due to recent registration and lack of widespread blocklisting. Users are strongly advised to avoid accessing kaonex.win, verify any suspicious link using PhishDestroy, and report the domain to security teams. While detection remains limited, the combination of recent creation, low VT score, and SSL usage heightens the risk of successful compromise. Remaining risk is elevated until GSB and other blocklists catch up. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-09EF34 Favicon MD5: 936386e361020ac6bcebbcc772491fbb TLS cert SHA-256: 9df85f5e1b8149ef7d962c78d015afc088c3fc4e7219b3159865daa5fb34c772 ## 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/kaonex.win/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kaonex.win 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.
