fx-bank[.]net

Analysis of fx-bank.net confirms its classification as an active banking phishing domain, currently hosted behind Cloudflare infrastructure. The domain, registered on August 30, 2025, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 (AS13335, Cloudflare, Inc., United States). Nameservers buck.ns.cloudflare.com and pam.ns.cloudflare.com further indicate reliance on Cloudflare's network, while detected technologies include HTTP/3 and Cloudflare's SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). At the time of assessment (July 12, 2026), the domain returns an HTTP 301 redirect, though the destination remains unconfirmed. The page title 'fx-bank.net | 522: Connection timed out' suggests either a temporary outage or intentional obfuscation of phishing content. Security vendors have flagged the domain, with 14 of 95 engines on VirusTotal detecting malicious activity, and it appears on at least one security blocklist. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 reinforces its high-risk status. While the specific financial institution being impersonated is not explicitly identified in available data, the domain's name and scam classification indicate a likely focus on banking credentials or financial fraud. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and implement blocking measures at the DNS or network level. Given its Cloudflare hosting, takedown efforts may require direct engagement with the hosting provider. Continuous monitoring is recommended, as the domain may resume active phishing operations following the current outage.
