# PhishDestroy threat dossier — crypto-wideaitrading.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-31 07:54:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crypto-wideaitrading.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, DNS8, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Seclookup, Sophos AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.23.159.170 (US, Buffalo) ASN: ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US Hosting org: AS36352 HostPapa Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Cryptowide – Safe investment with Cryptowide ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R10 Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-31 09:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-01 12:17:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019891af-99e0-751f-9ae0-73a0dceb4988/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crypto-wideaitrading.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crypto-wideaitrading.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crypto-wideaitrading.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crypto-wideaitrading.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crypto-wideaitrading.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:54:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified crypto-wideaitrading.cc as an active phishing domain posing a high security risk to users. The site falsely advertises safe investment opportunities under the guise of "Cryptowide," aiming to mislead individuals interested in cryptocurrency trading. Such fraudulent sites can lead to financial loss and compromise of sensitive personal information. This phishing operation works by mimicking legitimate crypto investment platforms, enticing victims to enter private credentials or payment details. The domain, created recently, is actively flagged on multiple security blocklists and by several detection engines, indicating ongoing malicious activity. It resolves to an IP address known to host suspicious content, reinforcing its threat status. If you have visited crypto-wideaitrading.cc, it is crucial to immediately cease any interaction with the site, avoid submitting any personal or financial data, and scan your devices for malware. Change passwords associated with any accounts potentially exposed and monitor your financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Reporting the domain to your security provider and using trusted sources for cryptocurrency investments can further protect you from harm. ## 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/crypto-wideaitrading.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crypto-wideaitrading.cc 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.
