Infoblox Threat Intel<p>VexTrio User Experience 4/N </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@knitcode" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>knitcode</span></a></span> decided it was time to get crypto-scammed by VexTrio.....here's the story... </p><p>Unfortunately, when i got to the final scam to steal my funds i landed at a page that unavailable.. so my money wasn't stolen. I did capture 16 minutes of screen recording while they mined my device and tried to interact with their fake online users, so that was fun. Imgur won't let me load that long of a video so I've got screenshots to the highlights. </p><p>Here's how the scam works: <br>* Somehow you end up visiting a VexTrio crypto scam domain. Since we track their movements, I just collected one from our detectors. <br>* You get a "welcome back" with some amazing bitcoin balance.. mine was $113k! and a continue button... if you click that... <br>* You get a threatening "your account will be deleted in one day" for inactivity, but you have the option to log in now! excellent. click.<br>* but what about the password? No problem. the site has remembered your password for you. ;) <br>* When you login, you are asked if you want to withdraw your funds. Of course! <br>* It's been 364 days since you were here, so the site needs to "verify" each of your mining transactions. It takes about 10 minutes to do this while it seemingly mines your device. ;) <br>* users are "chatting" away talking about ethics and mining strategies. you can add comments but they won't answer you. <br>* Finally you get the chance to withdraw your funds... first you have to get approval from your account manager and fill out a withdrawal form. .. she doesn't have a record of you, but that's ok. you are approved to withdraw $113k. <br>* You need to give a credit card or paypal account in order to pay their "official" partner Binance to do the conversion. what is $64 fee for $113k? ! sign me up! <br>* Click the final button to pay Binance and receive your payout.... unfortunately, for me this is where I hit the oops can't display... after 16 minutes! peqemynite[.]top was not working. <br>* This domain was previously behind cloudflare caching but starting Nov 11th, it started resolving as Russian IP in Prospero (which interestingly shared IP with keitarotds[.]top) and then Unitel also Russia. So that's fun. <br>* To recap... VexTrio domain -> cryptoscam -> Binance fraud -> Russian IP. </p><p>Attached are screenshots. i have a few urlscan images of this too but the process takes so long that getting the full user experience is hard. </p><p>here's some more IOCs. There are bunch of domains on: 91.212.166[.]95. I started at globalminingbit[.]top (after the TDS) and ended at peqemynite[.]top. Here's some current domains: qegymiewo[.]top,ditosoydi[.]top,keziryevo[.]top,xujodyaza[.]top,vupahoawy[.]top,rycozaaqi[.]top,zupahayja[.]top,mafaweewa[.]top,pesaraafy[.]top. <br>globalminingbit[.]top is also out of the CF cover now and at Proton66 (also Russia) 193.143.1(.)195</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dns</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/threatintel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>threatintel</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybercrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybercrime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/scam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scam</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/malvertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>malvertising</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infobloxthreatintel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infobloxthreatintel</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infoblox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infoblox</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/vextrio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vextrio</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/phishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phishing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crypto</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cryptoscam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cryptoscam</span></a></p>
