minexc[.]com

minexc.com was registered through NameSilo, LLC on 2024-10-04. The domain resolves to 104.21.72.47, an address owned by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) located in the United States. DNS resolution uses Cloudflare's authoritative name servers alan.ns.cloudflare.com and raquel.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the site was hosted behind Cloudflare's reverse‑proxy service. No TLS certificate was presented when the site was queried, confirming the absence of HTTPS protection. The page title returned by the HTTP response reads “Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum | Cryptocurrency Exchange | Minexc”, and the listed scam type is brand impersonation targeting the Ethereum brand.

A Gridinsoft trust score of 1 / 100 further reflects a low credibility rating. VirusTotal analysis shows that 2 of 95 scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on a single public security blocklist and has been referenced in three AlienVault OTX threat‑intel pulses. PhishDestroy has also listed the domain as blocked. Current monitoring indicates the site is taken offline.

Analysis confirms that the infrastructure—Cloudflare IP, low trust score, and brand‑impersonation page title—matches typical patterns of cryptocurrency‑related fraud campaigns. However, the offline status limits immediate observation of malicious payloads or credential‑phishing pages, and the exact content served before takedown has not been captured. Defenders should continue to block traffic to 104.21.72.47 for the minexc.com host, add the domain to internal URL filtering and DNS sinkhole lists, and monitor for any re‑registration attempts or use of similar naming schemes. Continued vigilance is advised, especially for users interacting with Ethereum‑related services, as threat actors may reuse the branding in future campaigns.
