Classification confidence 70%. ## Evidence status and limitations Evidence completeness: Not recorded - The real-world operator identity was not independently verified. - Module-level completeness metadata is unavailable for this legacy report. ## At a glance The checks that decide most of this verdict. | Check | Result | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | Malware engines | 12 flagged it (VirusTotal) | Risk | | Google Safe Browsing | Not listed (Google) | Clear | | Abuse reports on the host | 0% confidence (AbuseIPDB, 0 reports; shared hosting inflates reports) | Clear | | Domain age | 4 months old (Most scam domains are under a year old) | Risk | | Web archive | Archived since 2026 (1 snapshot) | Clear | | Certificate | Encrypted connection (Issued by WE1) | Noted | ## The page as captured ![Screenshot of the apyx.ink homepage captured during the TrustSniffer assessment](https://trustsniffer.com/outputs/apyx.ink/screenshots/first.png) _What apyx.ink served when TrustSniffer captured it on 2026-11-01. The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: less than 1 year (registration continuity). - Public web-archive history exists since 2026. - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Security Alert Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution. The domain apyx.ink is a recently registered website on the .ink top-level domain. Its own content could not be reviewed. Automated access ended at a security interstitial that labels the site as suspected phishing, so no products, pricing, claims or business model could be read. The site's apparent purpose therefore cannot be established from its own pages, and the assessment rests on reputation, registration and behavioral evidence. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk Contradictory signals are present and are the decisive factor in this assessment. The domain is **blacklisted** by threat-intelligence sources: a substantial cluster of independent security engines classify it as malicious, including several tier-one vendors, and an external blacklist listing corroborates this. The interstitial described above is consistent with these detections. No conflicting legal identities were found, and no brand impersonation was confirmed by the page analysis. The listing alone is serious enough to place the site in a clearly high-risk category. The domain's very recent registration and short history add to that concern. Behavioral testing found no wallet-drainer activity, no clipboard manipulation, no hidden forms, and no credential forms posting to outside parties. Outbound requests went only to recognised destinations. These results are mitigating observations. They do not offset the reputation findings, and the testing also recorded heavy outbound request volume, a very large number of page mutations after interaction, and frequent script errors. Evidence: - Domain registered 2026-06-30 (~0.34 years old), expiring 2027-06-30. This is a very young domain with no established record. - 1 archive snapshot, captured 2026-07-05 (1 year tracked). This matches the recent registration and gives no independent record of earlier legitimate use. - Homepage, threat-intelligence aggregation: multiple malicious detections plus one suspicious verdict, including tier-one vendors. An independent external blacklist also lists the domain. - Homepage sandbox, 3 runs: 95 external XHR requests and 9 external POSTs, all to whitelisted destinations. No wallet-connect, drainer, clipboard-hijack or external password-form activity. 26 console errors and 1,523 DOM mutations after interaction. ### Regulatory Verification Notes No legal, identity or licensing pages could be assessed, so no licensed or regulated status can be attributed to the operator. No corporate registration or supervisory authority could be linked to the domain. The real-world identity of the operator remains unverified and should not be assumed. No third-party broker record matched this domain. Because the site's own disclosures could not be read, this is a verification matter and is not independent proof of wrongdoing. It does, however, remove any regulatory assurance that might otherwise have moderated the threat detections. Evidence: - Identity verification status is unknown, and no on-site disclosure could be confirmed from the captured page. - Registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com; this is an ordinary registrar and gives no indication of the operator's identity. - Served from AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc., US) with a DV TLS certificate issued by WE1, valid to 2027-01-25. A valid certificate confirms encrypted transport only, not operator legitimacy. - No match in the broker-reputation dataset. ### What to Verify Next Treat the domain as untrusted until the threat listings are cleared. If an organisation has a legitimate reason to engage with whatever brand this domain claims to represent, it should locate that brand's official website independently, without using links from this domain, and confirm there that this domain is an official property. Security teams should re-check the domain's threat-intelligence status later, because a listing on a compromised site may be removed after clean-up. Any licensing or corporate-registration claim attributed to this operator should be confirmed with the relevant registry before it is relied on. Evidence: - The security interstitial and the blacklist listings are current findings, and the domain's status should be re-checked before any decision to engage. - No operator identity or registration data was recovered, so independent confirmation through the official brand channel is the only reliable route. - The technical safeguards observed (valid certificate, bot protection) do not address the reputation findings and are not a substitute for these checks. ### Summary Verdict The overall posture is critical and clearly cautionary. Confirmed threat-intelligence detections dominate the assessment, and the domain is very new, with no verified operator identity or established history to counterbalance them. The sandbox's lack of overtly malicious on-page behavior is a minor mitigating point. It is not enough to change the conclusion that this site presents elevated risk for any sensitive interaction. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site is fronted by Cloudflare's CDN and WAF with bot protection. All four observed addresses are edge servers, and the origin server was not observable. Independent verification of the real hosting environment is therefore not possible, and this arrangement can also conceal rapid content changes. The protective infrastructure is a mitigating factor only. It cannot offset the reputation risk and says nothing about the operator's legitimacy. ### Closing Assessment The site should not be used for login, credential entry, wallet connection, payments or any financial activity. Any visit should be limited to passive, read-only viewing from an isolated environment. Organisations may reasonably block the domain at the gateway until its threat listings are formally cleared. _Written analysis generated 2026-11-01 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 5 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by external reputation, history in the web archive, behaviour in a sandbox, hosting and network, registration and ownership. ### 01 External reputation - An external threat feed lists this domain: either Google Safe Browsing marked it malicious, or a significant number of malware engines flagged it. (External reputation `rule:EXT_BLACKLIST_CRITICAL`) ### 02 History in the web archive - The web archive has almost no record of this domain, which fits a site that is new. (History in the web archive `rule:ARCH_PEN_YOUNG_AND_SPARSE`) ### 03 Behaviour in a sandbox - Most of what the page loaded came from other domains rather than from this one. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_EXTERNAL_RATIO_HIGH`) ### 04 Hosting and network - The domain was registered between three and six months ago. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_YOUNG_6M`) ### 05 Registration and ownership - The registration record withholds contact details for the operator. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_HIDDEN`) - Registration details are held behind a privacy service, so no operator is named publicly. This is common and legal, and it also means there is nobody to check. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_PRIVATE`) ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNKNOWN | | Identity score | 50/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 15% | - AI page analysis unavailable (page captured; identity not AI-verified) _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of apyx.ink. - The request stayed on apyx.ink.

[Review TrustSniffer on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/trustsniffer.com) A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about apyx.ink at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present. TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [cryptocexch.ink](https://trustsniffer.com/report/cryptocexch.ink), another .ink site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 17/100) - [summitcapitalpatners.ink](https://trustsniffer.com/report/summitcapitalpatners.ink), another .ink site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [voidgame.ink](https://trustsniffer.com/report/voidgame.ink), another .ink site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [perfil.ink](https://trustsniffer.com/report/perfil.ink), another .ink site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [qualityexpressllc.org](https://trustsniffer.com/report/qualityexpressllc.org), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [356007.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/356007.com), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [plpsupport.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/plpsupport.com), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [amministrazioni-torino.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/amministrazioni-torino.com), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 5/100) - [facebook-connect.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/facebook-connect.com), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [iglesiapentecostescentralpandevida.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/iglesiapentecostescentralpandevida.com), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory), the full risk directory - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains), same verdict band - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence), run a new assessment - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk), on-chain screening - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats), how this verdict compares ## Guides - [How to check if TRC20 USDT is genuine Tether](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/how-to-check-if-trc20-usdt-is-genuine-tether) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Oct 27, 2026: 7 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-10-27) - [No Age Distribution Yet for Suspicious Websites](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/no-age-distribution-suspicious-websites) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/apyx.ink) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
