Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies a newly activated credit card skimmer operating through artrades.art, a domain registered just weeks ago. The site lures visitors under the guise of art trading while covertly lifting payment card data from checkout forms. Security scanners remain blind to the threat, with VirusTotal currently recording zero detections out of 95 engines. While the domain was created on May 09, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, it already resolves to a malicious IP (188.114.97.3) hosting multiple live skimmers. A Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate gives a veneer of legitimacy, but the certificate itself is only days old, matching the domain’s brief lifespan. Threat analysis shows classic Magecart-style behavior: the page loads a malicious JavaScript payload from a separate domain, intercepting keystrokes on payment fields and exfiltrating data to a remote server. The low detection rate suggests the payload uses polymorphic obfuscation and is not yet widely fingerprinted. The registrar’s privacy protections slow takedown efforts, and the IP’s shared hosting with other recent skimmers indicates an active campaign targeting small e-commerce stores and unsuspecting buyers alike. Risk is elevated because the domain is both new and already monetized, with a short window for defenders to respond before further domains spin up from the same infrastructure. If you visited artrades.art and entered payment details, immediately call your card issuer to report potential fraud and request a new card. Do not wait for unauthorized charges to appear. Check recent statements for anomalous transactions and consider freezing the card as a precaution. Even if no data was entered, clear browser cookies and run a malware scan, since the skimmer may have loaded tracking scripts. Report the domain to your browser’s safe-browsing program and to local cybercrime units with the exact URL and timestamp of visit. Sharing IOCs (188.114.97.3 and any exfiltration endpoints) helps disrupt the broader campaign and protects other shoppers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: e1202012b26f64473acb2323a22af817ffa39286a4f3e491d2a1bf6b8ad66a4d ## 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/artrades.art/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=artrades.art 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.
