palitexunion.com is an impersonation phishing site built to pass itself off as a trusted service and win the confidence of crypto users. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-03. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still online and reachable, but its content sits behind access protection. The page currently shows the title "403 Forbidden," while we classify the site as impersonation phishing.
How the scam works
Impersonation sites copy the name, look and tone of a real platform so visitors believe they are dealing with the genuine service. The victim is then steered into the step the operator wants: signing in, submitting identity details, or sending a deposit to an account they think is their own. Logins entered on the page go straight to the operator, and any money sent is lost to the fake platform. A forbidden-access screen shown to some visitors does not mean the site is harmless. Anyone arriving through a direct link or promotion may still see the full impersonation page.
Evidence
Five of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain in a scan on 2026-10-15: Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a small share of engines, but it comes from five unrelated vendors, several of which specialise in catching newly launched phishing infrastructure. The domain also appears in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse and on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-01-30 through Global Domain Group LLC. It went roughly eight months before PhishDestroy caught it. That gap suggests the name was held in reserve or used quietly before it surfaced in an active campaign. It resolves to 23.153.104.17 on the Aquiryn LLC network in the United States. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives visitors a padlock icon, which shows only that the connection is encrypted, not that the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you logged in to anything through palitexunion.com, change that password immediately, along with any other account that reuses it, and turn on app-based 2FA. If you sent money or crypto, contact your bank or the real platform's support right away and keep every transaction reference. Do not pay any "verification" or "release" fee the site or its contacts demand, because those payments only add to the loss. If you submitted ID documents, watch for identity misuse and targeted follow-up messages. Security teams should block the domain and its IP at DNS and proxy level, and search mail and web logs for users who reached it after 2026-10-03.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

How do phishing scams typically work?
Páginas web falsas — Clones idénticos al milímetro de sitios web legítimos, con dominios ligeramente modificados
Sacrificio de cerdos — Se ganaba la confianza de las víctimas a lo largo de varias semanas a través de Telegram, WhatsApp o aplicaciones de citas, y luego les robaban el dinero.
Estafas relacionadas con la recuperación — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Estafas basadas en la inteligencia artificial — los «deepfakes», el phishing automatizado y los sitios web generados por IA, que hacen que el fraude sea más difícil de detectar
¿Cómo puedo protegerme en el futuro?
