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: 2026-07-03 04:30:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 04:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 12:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f25cf-9ccb-76c8-aca8-bb8b1b23b004/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/buy-trx.uk crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.buy-trx.uk Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=buy-trx.uk AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/buy-trx.uk URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/buy-trx.uk/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 04:36:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain buy-trx.uk is currently flagged as an active phishing site targeting users of TRON (TRX) cryptocurrency wallets. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is designed to harvest wallet credentials, private keys, or facilitate fraudulent transactions under the guise of a legitimate TRON service. The domain remains operational and exhibits characteristics consistent with cryptocurrency-themed phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 27, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc. (registrar tag: CLOUDFLARE). It resolves to the IP address 104.21.93.23 and employs an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Despite its recent creation, the domain has been flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with no additional blocklist entries or trust score improvements observed. The use of Cloudflare hosting and a valid SSL certificate is a common tactic to evade detection and lend false legitimacy to phishing pages. As of the latest verification, buy-trx.uk remains active and poses a high risk to users interacting with TRON-related services. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at the network level. Cryptocurrency users should verify all wallet-related communications through official TRON channels and avoid entering credentials on untrusted sites. Security teams are recommended to monitor for connections to 104.21.93.23 and correlate with other TRON-themed phishing indicators. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: dfd8216146659ccecc92ecbbcaf9bf66 TLS cert SHA-256: 166e213059291eedd9bb2df96138187dd90cafd7410c321be029198f98b18980 ## 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/buy-trx.uk/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=buy-trx.uk 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.
