PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

protonvpnx.com impersonates Proton VPN with a Chinese-language page titled "Proton VPN下载 - Windows、macOS、Android与iOS客户端", which translates to a download hub for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS clients. It targets Chinese-speaking users who search for a VPN and land on what looks like an official download page. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-19. As of 2026-10-19 the domain is still alive and serving a redirect.

How the scam works

The "x" added to the brand name makes the domain look official at a glance in search results or shared links. Fake VPN download portals like this usually push a tampered installer in place of the real app, or route visitors to a sign-in prompt that collects Proton account credentials. Victims who install such a client risk handing the operator control of their device and everything typed on it. A VPN is meant to protect privacy, so a fake one can expose the very traffic and accounts the user wanted to shield.

Evidence

On 2026-09-29, 14 of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data and Gridinsoft. That count is moderate, but it comes from several unrelated vendors. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and matched the page to the Proton brand family under its ProtonMail label. The domain also appears on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists alongside PhishDestroy, and one AlienVault OTX threat pulse references it.

Infrastructure

The domain was registered on 2026-07-31 through Realtime Register B.V., about seven weeks before PhishDestroy detected it. A gap like that leaves time to build the page and seed links before it draws attention. The site sits behind Cloudflare, Inc. on an address geolocated to Canada, which hides the actual origin server. Its certificate from Google Trust Services (WE1) only means the padlock is present, so it says nothing about whether the site is genuine.

What to do

If you downloaded anything from this site, do not run it, and delete the file. If you already installed it, uninstall it, run a full scan with a reputable security tool, and treat the device as possibly compromised until it comes back clean. If you entered Proton credentials, change your password from a clean device, turn on two-factor authentication, and review active sessions. Get Proton VPN only from Proton's official website or the official app stores. Defenders should block protonvpnx.com, watch for similar Proton lookalike domains, and alert users who searched for VPN downloads, especially Chinese-speaking ones.

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 protonvpnx.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
  • "Troppo bello per essere vero" = truffa — rendimenti garantiti, testimonial di personaggi famosi, scadenze urgenti

This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.

A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
