Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ns1.dyna-ns.net, ns2.dyna-ns.net Registered: 2026-06-04 Expires: 2027-06-04 Page title: Web3 Connect Demo HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 477f735c071fcfad3e1442a0cf9788c72effae2d571e70fd637bf4fc6465118c ## 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: 2026-06-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 19:15:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 17:16:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:04:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edbb9-f877-76f9-8684-823c0dfe341f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a1f68e2e-7344-436a-a253-5d4da7a6dcb9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/altu.trade crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.altu.trade Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=altu.trade AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/altu.trade URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/altu.trade/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:29:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain altu.trade is identified as a high-risk generic_phishing domain primarily used for fake login attacks. No specific brand impersonation or crypto drainer kit has been confirmed, but the domain is likely designed to deceive users into providing sensitive credentials. Infrastructure analysis reveals that altu.trade has a VirusTotal detection score of 6/95, indicating some level of recognition among security vendors. The domain is registered through Dynadot Inc and resolves to the IP address 54.215.31.113, which is located in the United States and is part of the AS16509 network operated by Amazon.com, Inc. The domain was created on June 04, 2026, and it appears on one security blocklist. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is a common choice for phishing sites due to its ease of use and free availability. The domain is currently active and presents a significant risk to users who may be tricked into entering their login credentials. Immediate response actions include blocking the domain at the network level, educating users about the signs of phishing, and monitoring for any related malicious activities. Despite the domain being on a security blocklist and having a low detection score on VirusTotal, it remains a threat and should be treated with caution. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-C92B56 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 477f735c071fcfad3e1442a0cf9788c72effae2d571e70fd637bf4fc6465118c ## 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/altu.trade/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=altu.trade 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.
