Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies active phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users via the domain m.currencyexus.cc. The site is currently engaged in a campaign designed to harvest login credentials and financial data from victims under the guise of a legitimate crypto exchange interface. This domain is positioned as a mobile-access portal for a cryptocurrency exchange platform, likely attempting to exploit user trust in financial services. This domain was flagged by 7 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as a phishing site linked to cryptocurrency scams. The domain was registered on March 07, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and resolves to IP 172.67.196.170 via a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain remains unlisted on major blocklists and carries no reputation score at this time. Its creation date is recent, indicating a likely opportunistic campaign leveraging new domain registrations. The domain m.currencyexus.cc is active and poses an elevated risk to visitors. Analysis shows it is being used in a phishing campaign impersonating a mobile cryptocurrency exchange portal. Users are advised to avoid visiting this domain or interacting with any links associated with it. Organizations should consider domain blocking at DNS or firewall levels. Consider using threat intelligence feeds to monitor for related infrastructure. Report any suspected phishing incidents to relevant authorities and educate users on verifying domain legitimacy through official channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260518-845D14 ## 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/m.currencyexus.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=m.currencyexus.cc 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.
