Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain catapult.trade has been identified as a generic phishing threat, potentially impersonating investment services. No specific brand was indicated in the available intelligence. Currently, there is no evidence of a known drainer kit associated with this domain, but its design may aim to lure users into providing sensitive information. Technical analysis reveals that the domain was created on June 07, 2025, and is registered through NAMECHEAP INC. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.66.43.4. Security analysis conducted via VirusTotal indicates a detection count of only 1 out of 95 vendors flagging this domain, suggesting that it may not yet be widely recognized as malicious. The Google Trust Services SSL certificate associated with the domain may further contribute to its legitimacy perception. No current Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is available, and no blocklist count has been identified at this time. As of now, the domain is active and poses an elevated risk to potential users. Immediate response actions should include monitoring for increased detection counts and engagement from security vendors. Users are advised to exercise caution when interacting with this domain, particularly if it solicits personal or financial information. Ongoing threat intelligence efforts are recommended to track the domain's activities and any emerging indicators of compromise.

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/catapult.trade/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=catapult.trade 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.
