# PhishDestroy threat dossier — zarixcoin.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-28 04:48:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/zarixcoin.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.205.18 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Registered: 2026-01-12 Expires: 2027-01-12 Page title: 404 Not Found HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-01-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-28 05:44:58 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-12 12:25:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bb34f-7e18-7658-a379-b42bb9bb7035/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/zarixcoin.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.zarixcoin.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=zarixcoin.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/zarixcoin.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/zarixcoin.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:04:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies zarixcoin.com as a medium-risk phishing domain that has been taken offline. Despite its current inactivity, this site posed a threat by attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. Users should remain cautious as remnants of this threat may persist in emails or links. This phishing campaign typically worked by mimicking legitimate cryptocurrency platforms to lure victims into submitting private data. The domain was registered recently and appeared on multiple security blocklists, indicating its malicious intent was quickly recognized. Attackers rely on social engineering tactics to exploit user trust and harvest information for fraudulent use. If someone visited zarixcoin.com, PhishDestroy advises running a full antivirus scan and changing any passwords linked to the site or related services. Users should also monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity and avoid clicking on suspicious links in emails or messages. Staying informed and vigilant is essential to prevent falling prey to similar phishing schemes. ## 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/zarixcoin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=zarixcoin.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.
