winappnet[.]com

Analysis of www.winappnet.com indicates an active brand‑impersonation operation targeting the cryptocurrency exchange MEXC. The domain was registered on 21 February 2026 through Amazon Registrar, Inc. and uses four AWS Route 53 nameservers (ns‑1400.awsdns‑47.org, ns‑1893.awsdns‑44.co.uk, ns‑293.awsdns‑36.com, and one truncated entry). DNS resolution points to 95.100.146.107, an address owned by AS20940 Akamai International B.V. in Germany. The web service presents a valid TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12) and returns HTTP 200, indicating a fully operational site.

The page title, “MEXC‑beurs: Je gemakkelijkste weg naar crypto – handel in Bitcoin, Ethereum en de meest trending tokens”, directly references the MEXC brand, confirming the impersonation intent. Infrastructure analysis shows a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 / 100, reflecting a lack of reputation. The site employs common web‑app components including Google Sign‑in, Apple Sign‑in, Ant Design, reCAPTCHA, HSTS, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and GeeTest, which are typical of credential‑harvesting pages. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is listed as blocked by PhishDestroy, providing external confirmation of malicious use.

VirusTotal records indicate the URL was examined by 93 scanning engines without any current flags, but the absence of detections does not constitute validation of safety. Given the combination of brand‑specific page title, low trust score, active blocklist listings, and the presence of authentication‑related JavaScript libraries, the domain should be treated as a confirmed crypto‑related phishing site. Defenders are advised to add 95.100.146.107 and www.winappnet.com to network‑level deny lists, enforce TLS inspection to capture any credential submissions, and monitor for additional domains using the same registrar or nameserver pattern.
