Analyzing the Fraud Vector: How Ormix Uses Mock Trading Engines to Trap Capital

1•Lisa1314•1w ago
I’ve been investigating Ormix, an emerging "broker" that represents a sophisticated evolution in investment scams.

Technological Audit:

Fake WebSocket Feeds: Their platform uses a modified JSON feed to simulate market movements. While it looks like real-time trading, it’s a closed-loop sandbox.

Domain Obfuscation: The domain was recently registered via a privacy proxy, a common trait for "pop-up" exchanges that disappear once they hit a certain capital threshold.

KYC as Social Engineering: They collect high-res ID documents under the guise of AML compliance. In reality, this sensitive data is likely being harvested for secondary identity theft or sold on dark forums.

Has anyone in the security community developed an automated crawler to flag these "MetaTrader clones" that lack valid server-side certificates from regulated clearing houses?

Stop registering accounts to post these. This is an abuse of HN. Users are noticing them and reporting them to us. They are being killed promptly and are not visible to the general public. Stop wasting your time. If we have to take further steps to autodetect and autokill them, we will do so.
