kcexx316[.]com

Analysis of kcexx316.com indicates a high-risk phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users, specifically impersonating the KCEX exchange. The domain was registered on April 1, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and is currently offline as of the report date. Infrastructure analysis reveals Cloudflare hosting (AS13335) with nameservers dilbert.ns.cloudflare.com and tara.ns.cloudflare.com, resolving to IP 104.21.82.55 in Canada. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (serial E7), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. The page title 'KCEX' directly matches the targeted brand, suggesting intent to deceive users of the legitimate exchange.

Security vendor detections are substantial: 11 of 94 engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain, while Google Safe Browsing classifies it as social engineering. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, and is recorded in an AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing its malicious classification. No evidence of a phishing kit or specific attack vector (e.g., credential harvesting, wallet drainer) is available in the current data, but the combination of brand impersonation, blocklist presence, and detection rates confirms its fraudulent purpose.

Defenders should treat this domain as active threat infrastructure. Block DNS resolution to 104.21.82.55 and monitor for new registrations under similar naming patterns (e.g., kcex[random], kcexx[digits]). Given Cloudflare's role in hosting, request takedown via their abuse portal with evidence from VirusTotal, OTX, and blocklists. If the domain reactivates, capture HTTP headers and page content to identify the phishing kit or campaign ID for further attribution.
