# PhishDestroy threat dossier — accretiontrade.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-14 02:49:56 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/accretiontrade.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 46/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.129.67 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: Unknown Page title: Accretion Trade | Forex Broker | Low Spreads | High Dynamic Leverage ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-06 02:05:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-12 01:07:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 02:44:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01987dc5-13dd-76d8-8171-8d9978c01a9f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/accretiontrade.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.accretiontrade.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=accretiontrade.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/accretiontrade.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/accretiontrade.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:25:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified accretiontrade.com as a generic phishing domain targeting users with promises of favorable forex trading conditions. The website's page title advertised low spreads and high dynamic leverage, common lures in financial scams. Although the detected risk level is low, the domain was flagged due to its potential to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or making fraudulent transactions. Technical analysis reveals that accretiontrade.com resolves to the IP address 198.18.0.233 and was registered through an unknown registrar. The domain appeared on one security blocklist and triggered detection by 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but notable suspicion. These indicators suggest the infrastructure was likely transient or used to support low-profile phishing activity within the forex trading niche. Currently, accretiontrade.com is offline, which reduces immediate risk of user exposure. Users and organizations are advised to remain vigilant when interacting with similar forex broker sites and to verify domain legitimacy through trusted sources before engaging or submitting personal data. Continuous monitoring of such domains is recommended to detect any reactivation or related phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 41ff6a986e90375f4f966ddf4db2647091bdadc49301e1fca105bb3350d334b1 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/accretiontrade.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=accretiontrade.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
