mexc-int[.]com

The domain mexc-int.com was observed hosting a site with the page title “MEXC” and classified as a “Fake Exchange” that impersonates the legitimate MEXC brand. The site was taken offline before this analysis, but archival data shows it was served over HTTPS using a Google Trust Services certificate (WE1) and resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to Cloudflare, Inc. (ASN 13335) and is geolocated in the United States. The domain was registered on September 29 2025 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and its authoritative name servers are cody.ns.cloudflare.com and ollie.ns.cloudflare.com. Technical fingerprints indicate the use of Vue.js, Axios, and HTTP/3, all delivered behind Cloudflare’s edge infrastructure.

Security reputation is extremely low; Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, and four independent blocklists – PhishDestroy, MetaMask, ScamSniffer, and SEAL – have listed the domain. VirusTotal recorded a single detection out of 95 scanning engines, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious intent. The available evidence confirms that the domain was actively used to masquerade as the MEXC exchange, but no further details about the specific content or credential‑harvesting mechanisms have been captured. Because the site is no longer reachable, investigators cannot verify the exact payload or user‑interaction flow.

Defenders should continue to block mexc-int.com at DNS and proxy layers, monitor the associated IP 188.114.96.3 for any resurgence of malicious activity, and add the domain to internal blacklists. Additionally, security teams should review any recent outbound connections from internal assets to Cloudflare‑served IP ranges that match the observed AS number, as threat actors may reuse the same hosting environment for other campaigns. Ongoing watch‑lists should be updated to reflect the confirmed brand impersonation, and users of the legitimate MEXC platform should be reminded to verify URLs before entering credentials.
