apexcelfx[.]online

apexcelfx.online was observed hosting a brand‑impersonation campaign that targets Binance. The site presented the page title “Apexcelfx” and offered no valid TLS certificate, indicating that all traffic was unencrypted. DNS resolution returned a single A record pointing to 191.101.104.101, an address owned by AS47583 Hostinger International Limited and geolocated to the United States. Registration data shows the domain was created on 11 February 2025 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and the zone uses only one nameserver.

Reputation services assign extremely low scores: Gridinsoft rates the domain 0 / 100 and Scamadviser 1 / 100, reflecting a high confidence of malicious intent. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been taken offline by the remediation service PhishDestroy. VirusTotal analysis, performed by 95 scanning engines, returned no detections at the time of the scan, but the absence of a match does not constitute evidence of legitimacy. The combination of a recent registration, lack of HTTPS, low trust scores, and explicit brand‑impersonation labeling confirms the domain as a phishing vector aimed at Binance users.

Uncertainty remains regarding the exact content served before takedown, as the page has not been captured and no Safe Browsing or OTX identifiers are available. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor the hosting provider’s IP range for similar activity, and add the IP and domain to internal blacklists. Incident response teams should treat any communications referencing “apexcelfx.online” as malicious and advise users to avoid entering credentials on any site lacking a valid certificate that claims to be associated with Binance.
