Risex.exchange, a domain posing as a legitimate exchange, is flagged by 7 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors as malicious. The domain is now offline, but it previously operated as a fake exchange scam. It was hosted on an IP managed by Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States. The domain was created on June 4, 2026, and PhishDestroy identified it as a threat by June 19, 2026.
The domain was blocklisted by four entities, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, ScamSniffer, and SEAL. This indicates a coordinated effort to mitigate the threat posed by this fraudulent operation. The platform risk score of 75 out of 100 underscores the significant risk it posed during its active period.
Despite its relatively short lifespan, risex.exchange managed to deceive users by masquerading as a legitimate exchange platform. The use of a trusted SSL issuer, Google Trust Services, may have lent an air of legitimacy to unsuspecting victims. However, the swift action by security entities and its inclusion on multiple blocklists helped curb its impact. The case of risex.exchange highlights the importance of early detection and rapid response in combating online scams.

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.
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
