# PhishDestroy threat dossier — algotradingcfd.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-21 19:57:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/algotradingcfd.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Netcraft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED Nameservers: collins.ns.cloudflare.com, yevgen.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: AlgoTrading | CFD Trading — Trading on Stocks, Gold, Oil, Indices HTTP response: 200 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-18 17:51:13 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:50:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c71d8-6b4e-734b-abd8-ef5c499775e4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ca881696-9de4-4fc3-9065-130bbe3eccd7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/algotradingcfd.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.algotradingcfd.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=algotradingcfd.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/algotradingcfd.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/algotradingcfd.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:49:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies algotradingcfd.com as a domain involved in generic phishing activities. Focused on trading assets like stocks, gold, oil, and indices, the site was designed to lure users with promises of algorithmic CFD trading. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, via CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and classified with a low overall risk level based on current intelligence. Technical analysis shows that algotradingcfd.com resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was flagged for social engineering by Google Safe Browsing. Although only a small number of security vendors (2 out of 95) detected malicious behavior, the domain appeared on at least one security blocklist, indicating potential phishing or deceptive tactics. These indicators suggest attempts to impersonate legitimate trading platforms to harvest credentials or personal information. Currently, algotradingcfd.com is offline, reducing immediate risks to users. PhishDestroy recommends that individuals avoid accessing this domain and remain vigilant against similar phishing attempts. Users should verify the authenticity of financial websites before providing sensitive data and rely on trusted sources for trading activities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260218-FAF8DA Favicon MD5: 63f99ccef804fd2d6679e34dabdb17a3 ## 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/algotradingcfd.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=algotradingcfd.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.
