The domain nox.expert appears to be a phishing site aimed at cryptocurrency users. PhishDestroy first observed it on 2026-10-19 and flagged it as malicious. The site is still listed as alive, but its content was unreachable when checked on the same day. No legitimate brand or service is clearly impersonated.
How the scam works
Although the page title is not available, the evidence points to a typical credential‑harvesting flow: victims are lured to the site, asked to enter wallet addresses, private keys or to approve transactions, and the collected data is then used to drain funds. The threat relies on user trust in a seemingly legitimate web page to capture sensitive crypto credentials.
Evidence
VirusTotal recorded 2 detections out of 92 scanning engines, with Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and SOCRadar flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears in four OTX pulses and is listed on PhishDestroy's blocklist. No additional public safebrowsing verdicts were found at the time of checking.
Infrastructure
nox.expert was registered on 2026-07-16 through NameCheap, Inc., roughly three months before PhishDestroy added it to its blocklist. The site is hosted on IP address 188.114.96.3, and it serves a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, a reputable certificate authority that can lend an appearance of legitimacy.
What to do
Anyone who visited the site, entered wallet credentials, or approved transactions should immediately change all related passwords, revoke any wallet approvals granted to unknown contracts, and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Security teams should add the domain to internal blocklists, monitor DNS queries for the IP address, and share indicators of compromise with threat‑intel partners.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.
Hostnames retained in the domain record or Certificate Transparency cache. A hostname alone does not establish current availability or malicious activity.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including nox.expert)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
