# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ctplt.trade ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 19:39:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ctplt.trade/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: dahlia.ns.cloudflare.com, mike.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-04-27 Page title: Catapult Trade — Enter the Arena HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-26 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2acd1afa17da0df7cc186f5e60cf921755fbf23b700bf5356db33e5837dfc5f8 ## 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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-03 21:11:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-03 18:11:43 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-08 09:32:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019def07-53eb-76a2-abf3-d20d65655df6/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/aaaa98ee-f12d-471e-95a4-7905016bf68d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ctplt.trade crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ctplt.trade Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ctplt.trade AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ctplt.trade URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ctplt.trade/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-03 21:12:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain ctplt.trade is actively hosting a fake login page designed to harvest user credentials. Designated as a generic phishing threat, this site poses a high risk due to its active status and the absence of current detection on VirusTotal. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, a server associated with malicious infrastructure, and was registered on April 27, 2026. This recent creation date suggests a newly deployed campaign with minimal historical footprint, increasing the likelihood of evading traditional security measures. PhishDestroy’s analysis reveals that ctplt.trade is currently undetected on VirusTotal (0 detections out of 95 scans) as of the latest check. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for anonymity-friendly registrations, and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The IP address 188.114.97.3 is part of a block (ASN 14061, DigitalOcean) that has been intermittently flagged for hosting phishing infrastructure, though no blocklists currently list ctplt.trade specifically. The absence of detections and recent registration timeline indicate this is an emerging threat with potential for rapid expansion. To mitigate risk, users must avoid interacting with ctplt.trade entirely. If credentials were entered, change passwords immediately and enable multi-factor authentication on all associated accounts. Organizations should block the domain and IP at the network level and monitor for related artifacts. PhishDestroy users are advised to submit any suspicious links via the platform for real-time verification and threat intelligence updates. Immediate action is critical due to the active and undetected status of this campaign.

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