Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies spacezex.com as an active Ethereum impersonation phishing domain currently under investigation. This domain mimics the legitimate Ethereum cryptocurrency brand to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent cryptocurrency exchange services, posing a significant risk to individuals seeking to trade or interact with Ethereum-related platforms. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a lack of widespread detection despite its malicious intent. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and was created on April 11, 2026. The domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and presents a page title falsely claiming to offer 'Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | SPACEZEX,' further reinforcing its deceptive branding. As of the latest analysis, spacezex.com remains active and unblocked across most security platforms. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to verify the legitimacy of any cryptocurrency-related websites using PhishDestroy’s threat intelligence database. Immediate actions include blocking the domain at the network level, reporting the site to relevant authorities, and educating stakeholders about the risks of brand impersonation scams in the cryptocurrency space. Given the low detection rate on VirusTotal, this domain represents a stealthy and evolving threat that requires heightened vigilance. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260414-465069 Favicon MD5: e087c7d2d401757c00a2d6149fe58a08 TLS cert SHA-256: 2a483cd870cabebe3c5a00184a05e77600cf85e3c90f1e555ffc1504a9e3fb7b ## 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/spacezex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spacezex.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.
