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: 2025-07-07 (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) First reported: 2025-09-20 23:09:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-26 16:21:54 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:29:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019870bb-d678-7264-8c9c-75e8314eb4e2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/alpha-financeltd.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.alpha-financeltd.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=alpha-financeltd.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/alpha-financeltd.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/alpha-financeltd.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:44:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] alpha-financeltd.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy The domain alpha-financeltd.com is a confirmed phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting the Tron cryptocurrency platform. It presents itself as 'Alpha Finance LTD' but has no affiliation with legitimate Tron services, posing an elevated risk of credential theft or fraudulent transactions. No crypto drainer kit was identified, and the site is currently taken offline. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of alpha-financeltd.com. As of analysis, 16 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged the domain, including ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, and Bfore.Ai PreCrime. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist (PhishDestroy) and was registered on July 07, 2025, through Global Domain Group LLC. It resolves to the IP address 198.251.89.220 (US, AS53667 FranTech Solutions) and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / R12. AlienVault OTX lists it in 1 threat intelligence pulse, while Gridinsoft and Scamadviser assign trust scores of 0/100 and 1/100, respectively. The domain's nameservers include NS27.ASURAHOSTING.COM and NS28.MY-CONTROL-PANEL.COM, and its MX records point to itself. Victims of alpha-financeltd.com should immediately change any passwords or credentials entered on the site and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on their Tron and related accounts. Monitor financial transactions for unauthorized activity and report the incident to Tron's official support channels. Additionally, report the domain to Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and local cybercrime authorities to aid in takedown efforts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 16/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 93f1c325c95e2efd1e3f13e2ad6b3c78 TLS cert SHA-256: 0185fce4ae2bba7fa961580c2aa5ea50770485fd051c40373a6a2a3a21e3df13 ## 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/alpha-financeltd.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=alpha-financeltd.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.
