Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] universalx-dex.com Fake Crypto Exchange Portal Alert Analysis of the domain universalx-dex.com indicates it is a recently established phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain was registered on July 23, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU (Trustname.com) and currently resolves to the IP address 186.2.175.109. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of nameservers ares.trustname.com, ns1.anycastdns.cz, ns2.anycastdns.cz, and zeus.trustname.com, which may suggest an attempt to distribute DNS resolution across multiple providers to evade takedowns or detection. As of the report date, the domain appears on one security blocklist, and PhishDestroy has flagged it for potential malicious activity. No detections were recorded by the 91 vendors that scanned the domain on VirusTotal, though this absence does not confirm safety. The domain remains active, and its exact content or targeted brand has not been fully analyzed. The naming convention ('dex' commonly refers to decentralized exchanges) suggests an intent to impersonate a cryptocurrency trading platform, but no specific brand or login page details have been confirmed. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk for phishing or credential theft, particularly in the context of cryptocurrency-related scams. Recommended actions include blocking the domain and IP at the network level, monitoring for connections to 186.2.175.109, and alerting users to avoid interaction with universalx-dex.com. Further investigation is required to determine the full scope of the threat, including any associated phishing kits or additional infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-C8FE60 Favicon MD5: 6a4065816257ed427f8c629188813842 TLS cert SHA-256: 53ceac3455d1ff788afc59fde1c93c55b177ab0ea7ff816e16dc5972b7cc029b ## 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/universalx-dex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=universalx-dex.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.
