This is true... I really did not notice that the image was a quote from a post made by LeGaulois. Thanks for pointing this out Smiley
I didn't mean to intentionally correct you. Have a nice week!

But I guess this shouldn't be a problem if the mixer uses services like these.

In the image you posted above there is also WW listed (besides CM). I understand, you added CM for the lulz, but WW should really not be present in your image, so maybe you can edit it? First of all, their operation is completely shut down, after both websites are not functional anymore. Second of all, even if the websites were still working, I would still not think they are a good example to be listed, considering their sudden disappearance from the forum, without any explanation.
You are absolutely right about WW. But let me note that icopress is not the author of the image and cannot edit the original post.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I'm not very technical, but about six months ago I read an article about how scammers spoof the DNS cache to intercept Internet traffic... although having delved into the details, I still have a hard time understanding how a hacker can replace a site's DNS data and then redirect the victim to own server instead of a legitimate server. But I guess this shouldn't be a problem if the mixer uses services like these.

You are right about domains like ".beauty" but also don't forget that scammers also like to use character substitution and similarity in the pronunciation of the keyword. Usually, when a new player appears in a niche, scammers quickly react and purchase similar domains, so in this case one of the effective methods is preventive action (that is, the mixer owners should be the first to buy as many similar domain names).

Despite that, there is no guarantee that there will be no phishing and fake sites. Scammers can be very creative, with such a large number of custom domain extensions, they almost have an unlimited number of possibilities.
After a short check, I found several similar domains by "mlxy" term, it is not possible to cover all options.

A clearnet domain with only 4 letters is quite expensive. On Namecheap, mixy.net is available for $10k and mixy.io is $6k. There are cheaper options but I doubt anybody would fall for a fake mixer with a .beauty or .monster domain name.

It doesn't prevent phishing attacks, though. Popular bitcoin mixers have had scammers go after cloning their onion links as well. Just check this thread and you will see a number of reported copycat onion links

It's funny, but I don't see a single phishing site similar to Mixy. I guess this is not very good news (in the sense that it just means that Mixy does not seem to be very popular among mixers, so it is probably not profitable for scammers to engage in phishing).  Although maybe I'm wrong. Smiley

Bad people who want to run phishing sites don't make considerable inputs for their phishing efforts. Copying a website UI, making a domain or even creating a customized Onion domain are not big inputs from them.

It is not true to say they will get profit or no profit. Very limited inputs for phishing and some victims are enough to make they are profitable. I guess they don't spend more than a few hundred of dollar for phishing inputs.

For the brand.
For phishing attacking prevention.

It is better for the brand and it gives some level of prevention against phishing attack on the domain name. Because scammers must have skills to create a vanity onion address.

For the brand.
Usually, the user prioritizes keeping the clearnet browser rather than the onion link. [banned mixer] has a clearnet browser that clearly shows the brand which I think is not necessary to make a new brand for tor link. so if anyone wants to use it just go through to main site and click that onion link.

It's as easy as googling for 30 seconds and starting the brute force search. It's not going to help against phishing, if anything it gives a false sense of security.
I did not know it is very easy like this but I see many mixing services created their customized Tor domain names.

With your explanation, I now think those customized Tor domain names are for branding only.

A scammer looking to impersonate [banned mixer] could just as easily generate a vanity onion address with a similar prefix for their own domain. While it might look cool it doesn't do anything to prevent users from falling for a phishing scam. The best way to protect yourself would be to bookmark the official onion URL and only access the site from there.
I know but I proposed it with two meanings.

Do you think of making a custom Tor domain for [banned mixer]?

Tor links like mixymoneyxxxxxxxxx will be cool as a brand Tor domain for [banned mixer] mixer.

It helps your users have more convenience to recognize the Tor domain of Mixy Money. It also help them to have a good support to avoid phishing links.

Yes, that's right, apart from that, using Cloudflare also means your traffic will be recorded by them.
Therefore, it is better to use the onion link that is provided on the thread. So when we use this, it's not so naked when we use the Clearnet link. When we use TOR there is 3 and more relay that hide our server, Maybe it can still be traced, but sure it takes time and may be better than using the Clearnet browser.

Does web mixy not use ddos ​​protection like cloudflaire? I see most mixer sites use it for added protection
True, but in reality, if someone wants to seriously attack you, it can be difficult for you to run your business even if you have Cloudflare protection.

Yes, that's right, apart from that, using Cloudflare also means your traffic will be recorded by them. Even so, using ddos ​​protection will save your technical team a lot of hassle. But no matter whether you use it or not, I'm sure you know what's best for your business
