Score breakdown
See the live page ↓These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Intelligence
The domain app-ox.co is a clear typosquat of the legitimate ox.fun exchange and loads a generic placeholder page titled 'Success!' that is commonly used in crypto-drainer kits. Three antivirus engines flagged the page as phishing or malicious, and the hosting IP is shared with other domains already tied to credential-harvesting campaigns. The registrar NiceNIC is repeatedly cited by researchers as a high-risk provider that ignores abuse reports. Our research found two direct scam reports and four complaints linking this exact domain to phishing activity. The combination of impersonation, engine detections, and shared malicious infrastructure outweighs the clean browser blocklist result.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for app-ox.co, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- The domain is flagged as malicious by multiple security vendors (including Kaspersky and BitDefender) on threat intelligence platforms.
- It is hosted on infrastructure (IP 45.59.114.121 and 188.114.96.3) shared with known phishing and 'Wallet Connect' drainer campaigns.
- The registrar, NiceNIC, is identified by security researchers as a 'high-risk' provider that systematically ignores abuse reports for scam operations.
- The site title 'Success!' is a common placeholder for phishing landing pages or redirectors used in crypto-drainer kits.
- Associated domains like api-ox.com and oc-ox.com suggest a coordinated infrastructure for harvesting credentials or wallet approvals.

"The domain app-ox.co has been flagged by 4/95 security vendors. It is associated with a high-risk registrar (NiceNIC) known for hosting illegal content and ignoring abuse reports."

"Host Summary: app-ox.co. First Seen: 2025-04-09. Technology Fingerprints: Nginx. Related reports include api-ox.com and oc-ox.com on the same IP 45.59.114.121."
The domain app-ox.co and its sub-assets (api-ox.com, oc-ox.com) appear to mimic the branding of the OX.FUN crypto exchange, which has itself faced significant scam allegations.
PhishDestroy reports the domain flagged by four security vendors and notes its association with the high-risk registrar NiceNIC. urlquery.net records first observation on 2025-04-09 and links the domain to api-ox.com and oc-ox.com on the same IP, all tied to phishing and wallet-drainer activity.

Technical Details

A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- app-ox.co shows every sign of being a phishing — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing and crypto drainer. 4 of 92 security engines flag it (3 as outright malicious). This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
- No — app-ox.co scored just 1/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
- If you've already paid or handed over details on app-ox.co, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on app-ox.co and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
- Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
- If you entered anything on app-ox.co, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
- You can report app-ox.co through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
- Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
- Yes. 4 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged app-ox.co, 3 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
- No — app-ox.co is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
- app-ox.co resolves to an IP operated by RouterHosting LLC in CH (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 13, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about app-ox.co has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
