Analysis of the domain apexlivetrade[.]com indicates active phishing infrastructure targeting users of online trading platforms. The domain was registered on May 28, 2024, through TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd., a registrar frequently associated with abusive registrations. As of July 27, 2026, the domain remains operational, resolving to the IP address 104.238.248.156, which has been linked to other malicious activities in recent threat intelligence reports. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of custom nameservers (ns1.apexlivetrade[.]com and ns2.apexlivetrade[.]com), a common tactic to evade detection and maintain control over DNS records. Detection data from security vendors shows that 9 of 91 engines on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, though the specific nature of the threat—beyond generic phishing—has not been conclusively categorized.
The domain appears on at least one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, which classifies it as a phishing threat. No additional brand impersonation details, such as page titles or targeted entities, are available in the current intelligence. The absence of further context, such as SSL certificate analysis or HTTP response headers, limits the ability to determine the exact phishing kit or payload in use. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk due to its active status, custom nameserver configuration, and detection by multiple security vendors.
Network-level blocking of the IP 104.238.248.156 and the domain apexlivetrade[.]com is recommended to mitigate potential exposure. Organizations should monitor for connections to this infrastructure, particularly in environments where trading or financial platforms are accessed. Further investigation into the hosting provider and associated IP ranges may reveal additional related domains or campaigns. Given the domain's age and persistent activity, it is likely part of a broader, ongoing phishing operation rather than an isolated incident.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with apexlivetrade.com — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
apexlivetrade.com) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
