Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain spax40r-fxempire.com has been identified with the threat type of generic_phishing and is currently under investigation with its status marked as offline. The domain appears to impersonate the brand FXEmpire, as indicated by the page title 'SPAX40R Token — AI-Blockchain Presale Gaining Momentum | FXEmpire'. This suggests potential deceptive practices aimed at misleading users into thinking they are interacting with or investing in a legitimate financial service. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and created on May 25, 2026. It is not yet flagged by any of the 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it might be a new or lesser-known threat. The domain resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1 and is currently included on one security blocklist. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, denoted as R12, which is a common practice for websites to encrypt traffic; however, this does not guarantee legitimacy. The lack of detection by VirusTotal suggests the domain might be in the early stages of malicious activity or is cleverly avoiding detection. Given its offline status, the immediate threat is reduced; however, caution is advised. Users are recommended to monitor for any further updates or changes in the status of this domain. Security teams should continue to track its inclusion in blocklists and any changes in threat intelligence sources. It is advisable to avoid interacting with or disseminating this domain until more information is available and verified through trusted channels. Enhanced vigilance and network security measures should be considered to mitigate any potential risks from similar domains or threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d287f9405f439f808a7b0871071632fe TLS cert SHA-256: 729b576f998ad3c9c46048ff45acb502c81d7c25665e72200708955c42044a07 ## 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/spax40r-fxempire.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spax40r-fxempire.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
