Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies waomex.com as an active domain impersonating the legitimate MEXC cryptocurrency exchange platform. This fraudulent site leverages brand impersonation to deceive users into entering sensitive login credentials or financial data, exposing victims to direct theft of cryptocurrency assets. The domain employs a visually similar interface to MEXC’s official site, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among unsuspecting visitors. Security analysis confirms this is not a low-risk imitation but a targeted phishing operation designed to harvest credentials and payment information under false pretenses. This domain was flagged by 13 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating elevated risk and active malicious intent. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 11, 2026, the site uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. It resolves to IP address 185.143.221.3, further isolating its infrastructure from MEXC’s official ecosystem. The combination of recent creation, suspicious hosting, and partial detection coverage underscores the high potential for user compromise. If you have visited waomex.com, PhishDestroy recommends immediately changing your MEXC account password using the official website mexc.com. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if not already active, and scan your device for malware using reputable antivirus software. Avoid entering any credentials or payment details on this domain, and report the site to MEXC’s abuse team and local cybercrime authorities. Monitor your cryptocurrency wallets and financial accounts closely for unauthorized transactions. For a deeper technical analysis and indicators of compromise, review the full PhishDestroy report linked above. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260505-910381 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 1eb03bc6a470d102df868d4df60e4915883cc65de37703eadb6d4f3d1c0b30bc ## 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/waomex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=waomex.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.
