zexus[.]cc

The domain zexus.cc was registered on March 26, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently hosted behind Cloudflare’s network (IP 188.114.96.3, located in Canada). The authoritative name servers are deb.ns.cloudflare.com and kobe.ns.cloudflare.com. The TLS certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate, indicating standard HTTPS termination via Cloudflare.

Threat intelligence feeds classify the site as a generic phishing vector. It appears on a single security blocklist and is referenced in one AlienVault OTX pulse. VirusTotal analysis shows that 7 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, while the remaining scanners have not raised a detection. The Gridinsoft trust score of 35/100 further reflects a low confidence rating. HTTP requests to the host return a 403 status code, suggesting restricted access or intentional denial of service.

Current observations do not disclose the specific landing page content, targeted brand, or phishing kit employed; those details remain unverified. The limited number of detections may stem from recent registration, a low‑profile hosting configuration, or active takedown efforts by the PhishDestroy blocking service, which already lists the domain as blocked. No additional infrastructure such as secondary IPs, CDN nodes, or related domains has been identified.

Defenders should add zexus.cc to outbound filtering rules and monitor DNS queries for the Cloudflare name servers deb.ns.cloudflare.com and kobe.ns.cloudflare.com. Correlation of any user‑initiated HTTPS connections to the IP 188.114.96.3 with the observed 403 response should be treated as suspicious activity. Continuous re‑scanning with VirusTotal or similar aggregators is advised to capture any escalation in vendor detections. Attribution to the high‑risk rating warrants inclusion in threat‑intel feeds and immediate blocking at perimeter devices.
