No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-17 01:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:33:04 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-25 03:53:38 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 17:55:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] adequate-techtrades.com: Confirmed Investment Scam Site Analysis of adequate-techtrades.com confirms its classification as an active investment scam domain, presenting itself as a platform for daily earnings with the page title 'adequate-techtrades.com | Invest Safely & Earn Daily.' The domain was registered on May 16, 2026, through Sav.com, LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 198.251.84.200, hosted by FranTech Solutions in Luxembourg. This infrastructure is consistent with bulletproof hosting providers frequently utilized by threat actors to evade takedowns and maintain operational persistence. The domain is flagged by three out of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating detection by a subset of the security community, while Gridinsoft assigns it a trust score of 0/100. It appears on one security blocklist and has been documented in a single threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, suggesting limited but confirmed visibility within threat intelligence circles. The site employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (R12) and returns an HTTP 302 redirect status, a technique often used to obscure final landing pages or evade automated crawlers. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain uses nameservers ns5.asurahosting.com and ns6.asurahosting.com, a provider previously associated with malicious domains. The combination of recent registration, low detection rates, and hosting on a known bulletproof provider aligns with patterns observed in short-lived phishing and scam campaigns. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking both the domain and its resolving IP address. Monitoring for related domains registered through the same registrar or utilizing identical nameservers may help identify additional threats in this campaign. No evidence currently links this domain to a specific threat actor or phishing kit, leaving attribution uncertain. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 2bfe2e7c63ec04e6a5e8148a81fd793259e2e623c0aff591ec0dee7f2c83150e ## 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 (operator 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/adequate-techtrades.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=adequate-techtrades.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
