No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-21 22:59:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-21 20:00:36 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4c1d-809c-77bf-8be4-3756f29ee7f4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/30d29425-4833-4546-befe-23a3be5a11f9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tw-dex.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tw-dex.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tw-dex.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tw-dex.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tw-dex.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-21 22:59:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy’s threat intelligence platform has identified tw-dex.org as an active fake cryptocurrency exchange phishing domain designed to impersonate legitimate dex trading platforms. This domain is currently classified under investigation as a generic phishing threat, with indicators strongly suggesting active malicious operations. The domain’s recent creation date and lack of widespread detection underscore the urgency for immediate analysis and public awareness to prevent potential financial fraud. tw-dex.org was registered through Global Domain Group LLC on May 10, 2026, and resolves to IP address 185.114.96.3. Despite being unresolved by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors at the time of analysis, the domain operates with a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, which may be leveraged to appear legitimate to end users. The domain currently shows zero detections across all major threat intelligence feeds, including no entries in widely used blocklists such as PhishTank or OpenPhish as of this report. Trust and reputation scores remain critically low, further indicating a newly emerged and unvetted domain likely associated with illicit activities. Given the domain’s brand impersonation tactics targeting decentralized exchange (DEX) users, combined with its freshly registered status and undetected threat profile, immediate action is warranted. PhishDestroy advises users to avoid accessing tw-dex.org or engaging with any associated links or credentials. Security teams are encouraged to block the domain at the network perimeter and update firewall rules to include IP 185.114.96.3. Further, monitoring of related domains registered through Global Domain Group LLC and Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates issued within the same timeframe is recommended to detect potential related campaigns. The domain status remains under active investigation, and additional indicators will be released as they emerge. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-123D7D Favicon MD5: 58fd2a12f571cafad976ed5feddeeacc TLS cert SHA-256: eda0bfc9c7c2a0a4272a7c81cc5dbbd7a5e3c4870253e2fb0d242b45eb8e3d27 ## 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/tw-dex.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tw-dex.org 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.
