PhishDestroy threat report
protonvpnx.com impersonates Proton VPN with a Chinese-language page titled "Proton VPN下载 - Windows、macOS、Android与iOS客户端", which translates to a download hub for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS clients. It targets Chinese-speaking users who search for a VPN and land on what looks like an official download page. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-19. As of 2026-10-19 the domain is still alive and serving a redirect.
The "x" added to the brand name makes the domain look official at a glance in search results or shared links. Fake VPN download portals like this usually push a tampered installer in place of the real app, or route visitors to a sign-in prompt that collects Proton account credentials. Victims who install such a client risk handing the operator control of their device and everything typed on it. A VPN is meant to protect privacy, so a fake one can expose the very traffic and accounts the user wanted to shield.
On 2026-09-29, 14 of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain, including alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data and Gridinsoft. That count is moderate, but it comes from several unrelated vendors. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and matched the page to the Proton brand family under its ProtonMail label. The domain also appears on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists alongside PhishDestroy, and one AlienVault OTX threat pulse references it.
The domain was registered on 2026-07-31 through Realtime Register B.V., about seven weeks before PhishDestroy detected it. A gap like that leaves time to build the page and seed links before it draws attention. The site sits behind Cloudflare, Inc. on an address geolocated to Canada, which hides the actual origin server. Its certificate from Google Trust Services (WE1) only means the padlock is present, so it says nothing about whether the site is genuine.
If you downloaded anything from this site, do not run it, and delete the file. If you already installed it, uninstall it, run a full scan with a reputable security tool, and treat the device as possibly compromised until it comes back clean. If you entered Proton credentials, change your password from a clean device, turn on two-factor authentication, and review active sessions. Get Proton VPN only from Proton's official website or the official app stores. Defenders should block protonvpnx.com, watch for similar Proton lookalike domains, and alert users who searched for VPN downloads, especially Chinese-speaking ones.
