Wirex

Wirex.app, also known simply as Wirex, operates as a cryptocurrency platform. The company is headquartered in Slovakia. It provides services that enable users to interact with digital assets, though specific product details are not disclosed in the available sources. The organisation is recognised by its two aliases in public references and industry discussions. Its primary focus lies within the broader cryptocurrency sector.

In November 2020, Wirex.app was among several cryptocurrency platforms targeted in a campaign where attackers socially engineered GoDaddy employees to gain control over domain registrations. By altering DNS records, the attackers redirected email and web traffic intended for Wirex.app to malicious servers. This allowed partial compromise of the platform's infrastructure and access to some internal accounts. Although some affected services detected the changes quickly and reverted them, preventing outright data theft, the attackers used the redirected email traffic to attempt password resets on third‑party services. GoDaddy later confirmed that a limited number of its employee accounts had been manipulated through voice phishing. The registrar locked down the compromised accounts and assisted affected customers, including Wirex.app, in restoring access. The incident highlighted the risks associated with domain‑level social engineering attacks on cryptocurrency‑related businesses.
