# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mxi-finance.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-26 14:13:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mxi-finance.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Giveaway ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Ermes, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: 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: ["ben.ns.cloudflare.com", "kay.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: MXI - Easy Money. Global Access. | Send, Receive & Hold Dollars Worldwide ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9eaee4151bba4e149cafc03d32dac8f47babe11c41545758c193518a37254a40 ## 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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 06:03:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 03:04:40 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:14:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019dadfc-16eb-7347-9686-887f338595c9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d8f68da3-4672-4f13-bfb3-ad8f0091afd7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mxi-finance.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mxi-finance.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mxi-finance.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mxi-finance.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mxi-finance.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 06:04:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mxi-finance.com as an active credential theft domain impersonating a financial services brand. The domain was registered on April 13, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. VirusTotal analysis shows 1/95 security vendors flagging the domain, with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate in use. Technical indicators confirm elevated risk: the domain has a VirusTotal detection ratio of 1/95, is hosted on 188.114.96.3, and was registered via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 13, 2026. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) blocklist status is available, but the low VT score suggests minimal initial detection. The domain’s recent creation and low vendor flagging indicate a likely emerging threat with potential for rapid expansion. The campaign is currently active, with no known takedown actions at this time. Users should block mxi-finance.com at the network and DNS levels, avoid interaction, and report the domain to threat intelligence platforms. Remaining risk is elevated due to the domain’s active status, SSL encryption, and financial brand impersonation. Immediate action is required to mitigate credential theft exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-5E1361 Favicon MD5: 391c682a076ea0f0e97e060511850fde TLS cert SHA-256: 9eaee4151bba4e149cafc03d32dac8f47babe11c41545758c193518a37254a40 ## 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/mxi-finance.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mxi-finance.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.
