Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc.

Domain was flagged dead on 2026-04-09 06:50:33 UTC but a fresh report was filed on 2026-04-22 22:10:00 UTC — it is back or never truly suspended. Reports filed: 3 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-04-09 11:17:58 UTC Latest report: 2026-04-22 22:10:00 UTC Days since first notice: 18 — no registrar action, domain remains online ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record. Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies. Per-report timeline: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kovapex.com/#coordinated-suppression ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:10:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-04 21:12:19 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-27 12:46:31 UTC Flagged dead: 2026-04-09 06:50:33 UTC (SUPERSEDED — fresh report filed after this date, see ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY) Current status: ACTIVE (flagged dead but resurrected — registrar did not act on fresh reports) 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/019d5a52-e777-765b-b2a0-f8db5f863492/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b5a57b55-065a-44d1-83d8-51ea17552eb6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kovapex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kovapex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kovapex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kovapex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kovapex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:12:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies kovapex.com as a live crypto drainer site under active investigation for malicious intent. This domain was flagged due to clear indicators of credential theft and fund misappropriation targeting cryptocurrency users. Security engines have not yet flagged kovapex.com, reporting 0 out of 95 detections on VirusTotal at this time. This domain is newly registered through Global Domain Group LLC, created on March 13, 2026, and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 using a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate—common tactics used to build false trust. Its recent creation suggests opportunistic abuse of brand recognition in the crypto space, likely mimicking legitimate platforms to trick users into connecting wallets and authorizing fraudulent transactions. If you visited this site or entered any information, disconnect your device from the internet immediately and revoke any crypto wallet connections via your wallet provider’s security settings. Use a trusted, updated antivirus scanner to check for malware and monitor your wallet for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to PhishDestroy, your antivirus vendor, and the relevant crypto brand to help shut it down. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260404-87A264 Favicon MD5: 936386e361020ac6bcebbcc772491fbb TLS cert SHA-256: ee1c7b80db48d9bd1cd6a09c83a2c10a479ec777fc504c9986ffb69a39b7eec6 ## 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/kovapex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kovapex.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.
