Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has assessed only.exchange as a domain exhibiting low-level risk primarily due to brand impersonation tactics. The domain was designed to mimic the brand Across, possibly to mislead users into believing it is affiliated with legitimate services. The threat posed by only.exchange is currently considered minimal given its brief existence and limited activity. Supporting evidence points to a domain created on January 3, 2024, registered through NameCheap, Inc. It resolved to the IP address 64.29.17.1 and showed a modest presence on one security blocklist. VirusTotal scans flagged only two out of ninety-five security vendors, indicating a low detection rate. The site carried the page title "Only.Exchange — Buy Premium Filehost Keys with Crypto," suggesting illicit commercial intent through brand misuse. The Gridinsoft trust score is notably low at 1 out of 100, reinforcing the domain’s untrustworthy nature. Currently, only.exchange has been taken offline, which effectively mitigates ongoing risk to users. Organizations and individuals should remain cautious of similar domains impersonating trusted brands. It is advisable to monitor blocklists and maintain updated threat intelligence sources to detect recurring impersonation threats early. This advisory serves as a reference to recognize and respond to low-risk brand impersonation domains like only.exchange. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: f8dce6e4157e08803520cdc1b08ea60a66c7e75dd554e6ff84890764f8710a65 ## 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/only.exchange/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=only.exchange 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.
