# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mdex.m-dex.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-27 03:39:59 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mdex.m-dex.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["bowen.ns.cloudflare.com", "tara.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: М-DЕХ.оrg HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 010bffb9edd851b29f0dd97c4df1138114700ea95d4adcf381b906b459b73b9d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - m-dex.org ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 01:40:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a1732-349d-76a9-b082-247510f245a9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mdex.m-dex.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mdex.m-dex.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mdex.m-dex.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mdex.m-dex.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mdex.m-dex.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:55:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mdex.m-dex.org as a low-risk generic phishing domain that was recently taken offline. Although its risk level is assessed as low, phishing threats like this remain important as they can trick users into revealing sensitive information or downloading malicious content. The domain’s page title, "М-DЕХ.оrg," attempts to mimic legitimate branding, potentially deceiving users unfamiliar with the authentic source. The domain mdex.m-dex.org was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by one out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but existent suspicion by security tools. The site is currently offline, reducing immediate threat exposure. However, its recent creation and minimal detection suggest it may have been part of an emerging phishing campaign. Users are advised to remain cautious regarding any emails or links referencing mdex.m-dex.org or similar domains. Do not engage with suspicious messages or enter personal information on sites claiming to be related to this domain. Reporting such phishing attempts to security teams or platforms like PhishDestroy helps protect the wider community. Maintaining updated security software and verifying sender authenticity are essential practices to mitigate phishing risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 010bffb9edd851b29f0dd97c4df1138114700ea95d4adcf381b906b459b73b9d ## 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/mdex.m-dex.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mdex.m-dex.org 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.
