Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is currently under investigation for operating as a fake decentralized exchange (DEX) scam, specifically targeting users with crypto drainer phishing tactics. Analysis indicates the domain presents itself as a high-frequency trading platform for decentralized finance (DeFi), a common lure for malicious actors seeking to exploit users through fraudulent smart contracts or wallet-draining mechanisms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain velocitydex.net resolves to IP address 172.67.165.11 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The domain was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on July 02, 2026, an unusually future-dated creation that may indicate registry manipulation or typosquatting. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. No blocklist entries or adverse trust scores were identified at the time of assessment. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate verification of the domain’s legitimacy through official project channels, as fake DEX platforms often mimic real projects. Users should avoid connecting wallets or approving transactions on untrusted sites, particularly those lacking verifiable smart contract audits or community validation. If interaction has already occurred, revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals using a wallet management tool and monitor blockchain activity for unauthorized transactions. Future-dated domain registrations should be treated as high-risk indicators, warranting additional scrutiny before engagement. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260703-90329D Favicon MD5: 0a721fb5f82bcca7397a7c2638cdf33d ## 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/velocitydex.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=velocitydex.net 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.
