portal-apyx[.]xyz

Analysis of portal-apyx.xyz indicates an active high‑risk phishing infrastructure targeting users of exchange platforms. The domain was registered through Dynadot LLC on 22 March 2026 and is fronted by Cloudflare, using the authoritative nameservers melody.ns.cloudflare.com and rocco.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to IP 188.114.97.3, a Cloudflare‑owned address located in Canada. HTTP probing returns a 403 status code, while the page title reports a "504: Gateway time-out," suggesting the backend service is either unavailable or deliberately concealed. The site employs Cloudflare and HTTP/3, and presents a Let’s Encrypt E7 certificate, which does not mitigate the malicious intent. Independent security services have flagged the domain: it appears on three public blocklists and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, and VirusTotal records four detections out of ninety‑four scanners, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious activity. The listed scam type is "Fake Exchange," implying the domain is used to masquerade as a legitimate cryptocurrency or fiat exchange to harvest credentials. No further content has been observed, leaving the exact phishing payload and victim interaction unknown. Defenders should add portal-apyx.xyz to network‑level deny lists, monitor DNS queries for the domain, and enforce TLS inspection where possible. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any emerging indicators tied to the associated IP address or Cloudflare‑served assets.
