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 23:19:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:19:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-05 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-12 12:25:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c5395-f9bb-701c-a280-ef671be82cbe/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/volexbit.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.volexbit.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=volexbit.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/volexbit.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/volexbit.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 18:08:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies volexbit.com as a domain engaged in brand impersonation, specifically targeting the 1inch brand, posing a significant threat to users who may be deceived into using this fake cryptocurrency exchange. This domain does not appear to be utilizing a known drainer kit, instead relying on its misleading page title to capture victims. The domain volexbit.com has a VirusTotal score of 8/95, is registered with a registrar that has been associated with other malicious activities, resolves to the IP address 104.21.86.106, was created on February 21, 2026, and is currently flagged on 3 security blocklists, further indicating its malicious nature. The technical indicators for volexbit.com suggest a calculated effort to evade detection, with its SSL certificate issued by WE1, and its presence in 2 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, highlighting the need for continued vigilance. The fact that 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain underscores the severity of the threat it poses. Furthermore, the domain's creation date of February 21, 2026, and its current status as being taken offline, indicate a rapid response to its discovery, but also suggest that the perpetrators may attempt to revive or relocate their operation. Despite being taken offline, volexbit.com still presents a risk, particularly if its operators manage to revive it or launch a similar campaign. The current status as offline is a result of concerted efforts to mitigate the threat, but users should remain cautious and be aware of the specific threat that volexbit.com poses as a brand impersonation site targeting 1inch. Given the elevated risk level associated with this domain, it is crucial for users to verify the authenticity of websites before engaging in any financial transactions, and to report any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities, ensuring the continued safety of their digital assets. ## 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/volexbit.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=volexbit.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.
