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: 2026-06-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 17:04:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 15:10:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-23 08:20:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f13e7-ee5a-7069-a86d-d79ddf05c7dd/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9dfab716-d1e1-431d-84f3-7db2b433b74e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/autotradoaw.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.autotradoaw.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=autotradoaw.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/autotradoaw.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/autotradoaw.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 17:16:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is autotradoaw.xyz a Fake Auto Trade Login Scam? This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing infrastructure targeting users of automotive trade and vehicle sales platforms. Analysis indicates autotradoaw.xyz is designed to mimic legitimate auto trade login portals, likely harvesting credentials for fraudulent transactions, account takeovers, or resale on underground markets. The site employs social engineering tactics, such as fake login prompts and urgent verification requests, to deceive victims into disclosing sensitive information. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 27, 2026, through GMO Internet, Inc., and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Despite its recent creation, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, suggesting either evasion techniques or limited detection coverage. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. No known blocklist entries exist at this time, but the domain remains active and operational. Users who have visited autotradoaw.xyz or entered credentials on the site should immediately take corrective action. Change passwords for any accounts accessed via the domain, particularly those tied to financial services or automotive platforms. Enable multi-factor authentication where available to mitigate the risk of account compromise. Monitor linked accounts for unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity. If payment details were submitted, contact financial institutions to flag potential fraud. Security teams should block the domain and associated IP (188.114.96.3) at the network level to prevent further exposure. Report the domain to relevant threat intelligence platforms to improve detection and protect other potential victims. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-15BEA5 TLS cert SHA-256: aad084060f934f2cf5685490d4821a0674b1e724894acdb3cefe56805292cc31 ## 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 (operator 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/autotradoaw.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=autotradoaw.xyz 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
