# PhishDestroy threat dossier — acetrader.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 11:57:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/acetrader.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/95 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 82.25.87.159 (GB, Northampton) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: Hostinger Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: lunar.dns-parking.com, solar.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-05-19 Expires: 2027-05-19 Page title: AceTrader - Trade Fund HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-08-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1c16052a59b47f3c82aa295a95ed203a276b6d0bd2beaa6c3a1fd500ba926fae Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.acetrader.info ## 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: 2026-05-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-21 14:31:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-21 11:32:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-04 02:45:07 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-26 12:27:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4a4c-9b6a-70c4-8dec-9478dac15c98/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e0e8502e-24f9-4970-afc7-17a0691d0b15 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/acetrader.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.acetrader.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=acetrader.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/acetrader.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/acetrader.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-21 14:31:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies acetrader.info as an active crypto drainer phishing domain under investigation. This domain mimics legitimate trading platforms to trick users into connecting crypto wallets, where malicious scripts drain funds upon transaction authorization. The threat involves unauthorized token approvals and wallet connections, enabling silent theft of digital assets. Users must avoid interacting with this domain entirely. This domain was flagged with a risk level of 'under_investigation' and exhibits multiple red flags: it currently shows 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating no antivirus or security tool has flagged it yet despite active malicious operations. Registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB on May 19, 2026, the domain resolves to IP address 82.25.87.159 and holds a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend false credibility. As of now, the domain remains unlisted on major blocklists and threat intelligence feeds, including Google Safe Browsing, indicating a recently launched campaign. Domain age, registrar choice, and lack of detections suggest this is an emerging but highly dangerous threat. To mitigate risk, users should immediately block acetrader.info via hosts file or firewall rules and avoid any wallet connections or fund transfers. If accidental interaction occurs, revoke any token approvals for this domain through wallet interfaces like MetaMask or Etherscan's token approval tool. Report the domain to PhishDestroy and block the associated IP (82.25.87.159) at the network level. Exercise extreme caution with domains registered recently through bulk providers like Hostinger, particularly those marketing crypto services, as they frequently host drainer scripts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-2E40B4 TLS cert SHA-256: 1c16052a59b47f3c82aa295a95ed203a276b6d0bd2beaa6c3a1fd500ba926fae ## 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/acetrader.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=acetrader.info 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.
