We have released a publication of a full coverage on the phishing situation.

Who is Animesh Roy and how he scams people.
The journey from a sophisticated phishing scheme to bribing an anti-phishing resource DARK.FAIL.

Available at https://anir0y-scams.info

Tor mirror: http://xxkdkmhcrw7mug2nhtorvsusrydoqtfxggeu3rxcxglh3jk7ltmlmeqd.onion

(This format because it's quite a long read with many details and screenshots to make it as a forum post, but I might eventually make a mirror of it in this post later, unless somebody else wants to do it)

Any updates or estimates for adding Liquid network assets (L-BTC and L-USDT)?

Will you also create a vanity .onion name? Something that's easy to remember (partially) and very hard to reproduce. I think the way to do this is generate many vanity .onion domains, and hand-pick one that has "something extra" that rolls off the tongue nicely.

That's a good idea.
This could make it much harder for scammers to trick users with fake onion links.

We are also glad to inform you that our latest app's release (1.2.0) makes it possible to set reserve notifications and alerts, so there is no more need to check our website for certain coins reserve updates manually.

Wouldn't it be better to automate the reserve refill so that the balance is refilled every hour or two instead of doing it manually? This will be easier, as if I find that the DAI reserve is zero, this means that I need to wait for the next hour to find that the balance has been refilled.

I did not understand that they update the wallet reserve balance manually, but the new implementation will help users not to have to manually check the site to have information about whether the reserves have been topped up.
Everything is automatic, and you can receive notifications from the app about changes in the balance of reserves. You don't have to refresh the site anymore for that.

The domain redirection from exch.cx to exch.pw will be reverted within 2 days, leaving three separate domains operable without redirection: exch.cx, exch.pw and exch.is (TBD). We are also in a process of acquisition of some more presentable domain name which will be announced once complete.

Our domain exch.cx was suspended by Lyubomir Gyundzhiev from Key-Systems who misread our abuse report resulting into suspension of the victim's domain instead of attacker's.

I can't believe ''mistakes'' like this are actually happening Roll Eyes

Scammers probably organized paid campaign against eXch website with many reports Tongue

New domain is working fine for me and it is still redirecting from main domain.

I hope you solve the problem with the domain soon

I am still waiting for the answer to this question, as i want to convert some coins to btc lightning.
When the domains gets back i would like to convert.

Quote from: bitmover on March 10, 2024, 03:46:40 PM

I have a question about lightning

I see you need "Zero-amount invoices only"

I am using Aqua wallet, which has LN integrated. The minimum invoice is 1000 sats.

Will my 1000 sats invoice work?

exch.cx is now redirecting to exch.pw. I guess the issue is close to be solved. ~~However, the Bad Gateway error remains here.~~ Seems to be fixed as of 20h UTC. The redirect to exch.pw however remains.

The new domain is not working.
Not even an hour has passed since the new domain was announced, and yet a DDoS attack? really? Huh

502 Bad Gateway
The server returned an invalid or incomplete response.

It's most probably our service is currently under a DDoS attack.

We will be moving to some new domain zone soon that is not managed by CentralNic or Key-Systems, since these companies demonstrated inability to handle simple issues and even making negligent harm during issue resolution.

Wow what a bunch of assholes! Shocked

I was not aware that it was even possible to be so lazy at work, wtf..
I hope that the situation will be solved asap.

Welcome to 2024 where incompetence is an important skill for being employed by domain registrar companies. The inability to read simple texts is awarded.

Accidently suspending something like a multi-million company's domain must be some kind of trend nowadays.

Temporarily new domain till these guys resolve it: exch.PW

https://exch.pw

UPDATE:

After making several phone calls to CentralNic and Key-Systems, exch.CX seems to be unsuspended and is back online now, but we'll keep exch.PW redirection for a few while to ensure nothing breaks again.

Is site down? ---> https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/exch.cx.html

I wanted to try the service. In the morning (GMT+4) DAI reserve was less than $500. I waited for several hours and service did not add more reserve. Now site is down.

I hope that the reserves will be refilled every 1-3 hours.

This is mainly why we have the message "You can start exchange without calculating and send any amount (calculation will be performed on receipt)" right to the "Exchange" button.

Since the Reserves are shown on the same page, I didn't expect this functionality when there are no reserves left.

Quote from: Pmalek on March 11, 2024, 11:36:33 AM

I checked your FAQ section, but it doesn't mention any of this regarding backorders you just discussed. Perhaps you should add it, so your clients know such an option exists.

I was going to suggest the same thing

what will happen if someone sends stolen money to this USDT ETH address, and then it goes to the client from this address?

Just use DAI.

in my opinion, there is a greater chance of getting depeg dai than a random usdt block (for the previous owners of these usdts)

We have found that a known .onion directory "dark.fail" currently lists an URL impersonating our service.

Isn't it obvious that this is a phishing website?
It has listed only bitcoin and monero with different service name.

We have stopped using Graphene OS some years ago after its founder strcat aka Daniel Micay revealed his conflictive and hostile personality against people who disagree with him.

I know about Micay and his weird behavior, but he is not active in public anymore for a while after one of his last incidents, and that doesn't mean that GrapheneOS is bad.
It's open source so anyone can check the code, but I wouldn't suggest blindly trusting any operating system for smartphones.
I try to use smartphones as little as possible and only when I need to do it.

Quote from: eXch on March 10, 2024, 02:38:19 PM

We currently use and sponsor DivestOS quite for a long time which is a solid alternative to Graphene OS. Its founder SkewedZeppelin is a long-time Graphene contributor and actually includes security patches from Graphene to his ROM, making it Lineage OS in the `usermode` build type (non-rootable) with Graphene OS security patches applied, which we believe an ideal OS for Android in terms of security and useability.

I tried DivestOS before but it didn't work for me, that doesn't mean I won't try again in future, and it's always good to have competition.

As far as I know, tether freeze coins by themselves, in all blockchains.

The usdt will probably be frozen before getting into your hands.

For example:
https://tether.to/en/following-investigations-by-tether-okx-and-the-us-department-of-justice-tether-voluntarily-freezes-225m-in-stolen-usdt-linked-to-international-crime-syndicate/

Also, as paid2 said, exch.cx buy coins from CEX as well, exch.cx coins also comes from cex.
