ex-changenow.com is a fraudulent site impersonating ChangeNOW, a legitimate no-signup cryptocurrency exchange, targeting crypto users who may be searching for a quick swap service. The page title "ChangeNOW | No-Signup Crypto Exchange" closely mirrors the real brand to appear credible at a glance. PhishDestroy first identified this domain on 2026-09-19, roughly a month after it was registered. As of 2026-10-18, the site remains alive at the network level, though its content is DNS-inactive, meaning the malicious page may not be actively resolving for all visitors.
How the scam works
Seed phrase theft pages present victims with a fake interface that mimics a trusted service — in this case, ChangeNOW's exchange platform — and then prompt users to enter their wallet recovery phrase, typically under the pretense of connecting a wallet, resolving a transaction error, or verifying an account. Once the seed phrase is submitted, the attacker gains complete and irreversible control of every wallet secured by those words. Unlike a wallet drainer that requires a transaction signature, seed phrase theft requires no on-chain interaction: the credentials are harvested directly and the victim's funds can be swept at any time afterward.
Evidence
VirusTotal flagged this domain with 13 detections out of 91 engines checked on 2026-09-29; vendors confirming the threat include alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Ermes, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, and G-Data. The domain appears on three blocklists: PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating it has been independently reviewed and confirmed as malicious by multiple security communities. Spamhaus classifies it as DBL_SPAM, adding further corroboration of abusive activity tied to this domain.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-17 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu and is hosted on the Omegatech LTD network in the Netherlands at IP 130.12.180.128. TLS is provided by Let's Encrypt / YE2, a free automated certificate authority commonly used across both legitimate and fraudulent sites. The domain was created just over a month before PhishDestroy first detected it.
What to do
If you visited this site and entered your seed phrase, treat every wallet secured by that phrase as fully compromised: immediately transfer all assets to a new wallet generated on a clean, offline device and never use the exposed seed phrase again. Do not attempt to move funds using the compromised wallet from a device that may have been involved. Security teams should block ex-changenow.com at the DNS and firewall level and add it to internal threat-intelligence feeds. Defenders can reference the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL blocklist entries to accelerate deployment.

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.

After a phishing incident
Raccomandazioni e consigli per le vittime
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Cosa devo fare subito?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Modifica tutte le password — e-mail, account Exchange, qualsiasi servizio che utilizzi la stessa password
Abilita l'autenticazione a due fattori (2FA) utilizzando un'app di autenticazione (non via SMS). Disattiva il recupero tramite SMS
Carte congelate se hai inserito i tuoi dati bancari sul sito di phishing
Quali informazioni devo raccogliere per la mia relazione?
Linee guida dell'FBI
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Date e orari esatti — di ogni transazione e del primo contatto con il truffatore
Schermate — siti web truffaldini, messaggi in chat, e-mail, transazioni tramite portafoglio digitale, social media
Tutti gli URL e i domini utilizzato dal truffatore (tra cui ex-changenow.com)
Comunicazioni — e-mail, SMS, numeri di telefono, nomi utente utilizzati dal truffatore
Anche se non conosci tutti i dettagli — sporgere comunque denuncia. Anche le informazioni parziali sono comunque utili alle indagini.
A chi devo segnalare la truffa?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (sistema di segnalazione federale degli Stati Uniti)
Europol — Segnalazioni relative alla criminalità informatica in Europa (UE)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polizia locale — crea un documento ufficiale, anche se non è in grado di agire immediatamente
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Siti web fasulli — cloni perfetti, al pixel, di siti legittimi con domini leggermente modificati
Macellazione dei suini — fiducia conquistata nel corso di settimane tramite Telegram/WhatsApp/app di incontri, per poi rubare i soldi
Truffe legate al recupero dei fondi — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Truffe basate sull'intelligenza artificiale — i deepfake, il phishing automatizzato e i siti generati dall’intelligenza artificiale rendono più difficile individuare le frodi
Come posso proteggermi in futuro?
Aggiungi i siti ufficiali ai preferiti — Non cliccare mai sui link contenuti nelle e-mail, nei messaggi diretti o negli annunci pubblicitari
Verifica i domini — controllare PhishDestroy prima di interagire. Verifica l'HTTPS, l'ortografia e l'età del dominio
