Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

zaopex.com is an active phishing domain with a VirusTotal detection score of 14 out of 95, indicating a high level of suspicion. The domain appears to mimic legitimate sites, aiming to deceive users into providing sensitive information. Such tactics are particularly harmful as they exploit trust and can lead to identity theft or financial loss.

Registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, zaopex.com is a relatively new domain, established just 134 days ago. It operates from the IP address 198.18.0.183 and has already been blocklisted once. This quick rise in malicious activity is concerning, especially as it may utilize shared hosting, making it easier to evade detection.

Currently, zaopex.com remains active, with PhishDestroy monitoring its activities closely. The domain has been reported for malicious behavior, and efforts are underway to mitigate its impact. Continuous vigilance is necessary as the situation develops.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
