Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ashleycmadison.com.nivesttrade.com as a phishing domain impersonating the Ashley Madison brand. While classified as low risk, such impersonation attempts can lead to user deception and potential credential theft, making vigilance essential. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC and resolves to IP address 198.251.89.220. It appeared on one security blocklist and had a single detection among 95 VirusTotal security vendors. Currently, this domain is taken offline, limiting active threat exposure. Users are advised to avoid visiting or interacting with ashleycmadison.com.nivesttrade.com. Always verify URLs carefully and rely on official sources when accessing sensitive platforms. Reporting suspicious domains to security services helps protect the community from phishing risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 9a980074256cc1c34e7877e966d57182077c78b9fccd3760f986d9398ced64f6 ## 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/ashleycmadison.com.nivesttrade.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ashleycmadison.com.nivesttrade.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
