## 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.

molexgo.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain molexgo.com is a confirmed phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting Ethereum users. It presented itself as a cryptocurrency exchange under the guise of the legitimate Ethereum brand, attempting to deceive victims into interacting with fraudulent services. No drainer kit was identified, but the site operated as a cryptocurrency scam. As of the latest verification, molexgo.com has been taken offline.

Technical indicators for molexgo.com show limited detection but clear malicious intent. The domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, and appeared on 1 security blocklist (PhishDestroy). It was created on 2026-02-21 and resolved to the IP address 104.21.74.224, hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure in the US. The SSL certificate was issued by WE1, and the observed page title was 'Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | Exchange'. Technologies detected on the site included Nginx and OpenResty. Gridinsoft assigned the domain a trust score of 28 out of 100.

Users who interacted with molexgo.com should take immediate action to secure their assets and accounts. For cryptocurrency-related scams, revoke any token approvals granted to unknown contracts and transfer funds to a new, secure wallet. If credentials were entered, change passwords on all associated accounts and enable two-factor authentication. Report the phishing domain to platforms like Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or the Anti-Phishing Working Group to assist in broader mitigation efforts.

## 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.
