# PhishDestroy threat dossier — polynexai.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 15:03:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polynexai.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 93/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 1 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.15.114 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., 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: etta.ns.cloudflare.com, henrik.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-27 Expires: 2027-05-27 Page title: Polynex AI | Official Platform for AI Assisted Trading ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d527c01b1c2f9570ebd35f28585211e7950d61f415acf99318f5147efbe2014d ## 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: 2026-05-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-01 02:20:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-01 00:02:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 00:33:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8053-c0e5-75ae-86eb-53c0a428cb8f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/720df04f-a96b-4592-a9a9-5b7562a0dad4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/polynexai.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.polynexai.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=polynexai.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/polynexai.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/polynexai.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 03:12:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, polynexai.live, is flagged as a generic phishing site impersonating Polynex AI, a purported platform for AI-assisted trading. Analysis indicates the site likely aimed to deceive users into disclosing credentials or financial details under the guise of automated trading services. No specific drainer kit signatures were identified in the available data, but the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with credential harvesting infrastructure. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 104.21.15.114. It was created on May 27, 2026, though this date may reflect registry manipulation or typographical error. The domain holds a VirusTotal detection score of 5/95 security vendors, indicating moderate but not universal recognition as malicious. It appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. Technologies detected include Cloudflare, jsDelivr, jQuery, and Unpkg, suggesting a reliance on common web development tools to mimic legitimate platforms. As of the latest verification, polynexai.live has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, the domain's infrastructure remains registered, and similar campaigns may resurface under different domains or IPs. Users who interacted with the site should assume potential credential compromise and monitor associated accounts for unauthorized activity. Organizations are advised to update blocklists with the domain and IP, and to verify SSL certificates for Let's Encrypt-issued domains in similar contexts to identify potential impersonation attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260601-ABF31F Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: d527c01b1c2f9570ebd35f28585211e7950d61f415acf99318f5147efbe2014d ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/polynexai.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=polynexai.live 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
