Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies artrades.live as an active phishing domain designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive financial and personal information under the guise of a legitimate online marketplace. This site specifically targets shoppers by impersonating a retail platform, luring victims with fake promotions or product listings. Once engaged, users are prompted to enter payment details or login credentials on fraudulent checkout pages, which are then harvested by threat actors for fraudulent transactions or identity theft. This domain was flagged as a phishing scam by multiple security vendors, indicating active malicious intent. This domain poses an elevated risk to users due to its recent registration and deployment of infrastructure designed to evade detection. artrades.live was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 10, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. Security analysis by VirusTotal reveals that 3 of 95 scanning engines flagged this domain as malicious, highlighting its potential to bypass traditional security measures. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate further enhances its credibility, making it more likely to trick users into trusting the fraudulent site. These technical indicators, combined with the domain's recent creation, suggest a rapidly evolving threat that requires immediate attention from both users and security professionals. Users who have visited artrades.live should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, avoid entering any personal or payment information on this site, as it may be intercepted by threat actors. If credentials were submitted, change passwords for all online accounts, especially those used for shopping or banking, and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Additionally, scan devices for malware using reputable security software, as phishing sites often deploy malicious payloads to maintain persistence. Report this domain to your browser's safe browsing program or a trusted cybersecurity platform to help block further access. For organizations, consider blocking this domain at the network level to prevent employee exposure. Proactive monitoring and user education on recognizing phishing tactics remain critical in combating these evolving threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260515-BD0664 TLS cert SHA-256: 68f2970ce2cbb77c5d6506049a5778b84ede95f5d2daa9ae782a37ea3ec4ab99 ## 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.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=artrades.live 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.
