location[.]vx0-k[.]com

Analysis of location.vx0-k.com shows that the domain was registered on February 27 2026 through NameCheap, Inc. The authoritative nameservers are ns1.carroceria1-2.com and ns2.carroceria1-2.com, and the domain resolves to the IP address 162.240.179.224, which belongs to AS46606 (Unified Layer) in the United States. The web server identified by passive fingerprinting is Apache HTTP Server, presenting a TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12) for the exact host name. The page title returned by the now‑offline site is “location.vx0-k.com/”, providing no additional context about the content or targeted brand. Security‑vendor scanning on VirusTotal reports that 13 of 93 scanners flagged the domain as malicious, indicating a non‑trivial detection rate.

The domain is listed on a single public blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing activity. Independent reputation scoring from Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, the lowest possible rating. Taken together, the evidence points to an active phishing infrastructure that has been taken offline as of the report date.

The primary uncertainties are the specific phishing campaign details, such as the credential‑harvesting page layout or the targeted brand, which are not disclosed by the available intelligence. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeters, update intrusion‑prevention signatures to include the associated IP and host name, and monitor for any resurgence of the same infrastructure under different subdomains or IP ranges. Additional investigation of the hosting provider Unified Layer and the disclosed nameservers may reveal related malicious assets.
