This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:24:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:24:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:24:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01987fde-5319-731a-bf6b-b9e41e62ca7a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vexway.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vexway.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vexway.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vexway.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vexway.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 11:13:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain vexway.com is a fraudulent website that impersonates a foundation brand. Its page title "VEXWAY | Open the world of luck and rewards!" indicates it presents itself as a rewards or lottery platform. The site poses a threat as an impersonation scam, designed to deceive users into believing it is affiliated with the legitimate foundation brand, likely to steal personal information or funds. Technical analysis shows the site has a low trust score of 0/100 on GridinSoft and a DOM risk score of 66. VirusTotal reports 3 detections out of 95 security vendors, with flags from alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and Seclookup. It is listed on 1 blocklist. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and registered with MAT BAO CORPORATION. It resolves to IP address 104.21.96.1 in the United States, hosted by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The site uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1) and nameservers cartman.ns.cloudflare.com and dorthy.ns.cloudflare.com. The current status of vexway.com is BANNED, indicating it has been blocked by security services. Based on the provided data, the risk level is high due to the impersonation of a foundation brand, low trust score, and active security flags. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 5822323e8a8510496e84fe44404fe7ee3621a25c41b08eb7fd1f86f709f75d92 ## 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/vexway.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vexway.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.
