# PhishDestroy threat dossier — acestradex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-25 15:42:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/acestradex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 49/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Netcraft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.89.168 (LU, Luxembourg) ASN: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: FranTech Solutions Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: ns10.asurahosting.com, ns10.my-control-panel.com, ns9.asurahosting.com, ns9.my-control-panel.com Registered: 2025-08-17 Page title: ACES TRADEX ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-08-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-23 18:55:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-23 15:56:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-24 03:55:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 18:58:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dbb0c-7243-70ff-8f00-44ca41c693a1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/26f3a4f5-3374-438f-9426-a536a192810b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/acestradex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.acestradex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=acestradex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/acestradex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/acestradex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-23 18:56:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies acestradex.com as a live crypto wallet phishing site that mimics a legitimate trading platform. The domain was registered only days ago—on August 17, 2025—through Global Domain Group LLC and resolves to IP address 198.251.89.168. Threat intelligence flags it as an elevated-risk domain hosting a convincing clone designed to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials and seed phrases from unsuspecting users. This domain leverages a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, but its recent creation date and extremely low detection rate on VirusTotal—just 1 out of 95 security vendors—strongly suggest it is newly operational and still escaping broad detection. The low VT score is typical of fledgling phishing operations that have not yet been widely blacklisted. The registrar affiliation and hosting infrastructure are consistent with bulletproof hosting providers that tolerate fraudulent services, increasing the likelihood of prolonged availability. If you visited acestradex.com or entered any wallet credentials or recovery phrases, assume your funds are at immediate risk. Disconnect any connected wallets, transfer remaining assets to a new, isolated address, and revoke any exposed API keys or approvals. Use a reputable wallet scanner to check for unauthorized transactions and enable two-factor authentication on all crypto-related accounts. Report the domain to your wallet provider, your antivirus vendor, and relevant cybercrime units to help block its spread. Stay alert: newly registered crypto phishing sites like this often reappear under slight domain variations, so avoid clicking suspicious links and verify every URL before entering sensitive data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260423-F9E754 Favicon MD5: 8a47a934f526ee0143fc97352ff68c28 ## 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/acestradex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=acestradex.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.
