Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] defx-perps.com Fake Perpetuals Trading Phishing Domain This domain, defx-perps.com, was registered on July 23, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com and remains active as of July 28, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to the IP address 186.2.175.109 and uses nameservers ares.trustname.com, ns1.anycastdns.cz, ns2.anycastdns.cz, and zeus.trustname.com. The domain is currently flagged by one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and is classified as a generic phishing threat targeting users of perpetuals trading platforms. VirusTotal reports that 1 of 91 security vendors detects this domain as malicious, though the specific nature of the threat—such as the exact brand impersonated or the phishing kit in use—has not been confirmed in available intelligence. Defenders should note that the domain's registration is recent, and its hosting infrastructure leverages a mix of Trustname and AnycastDNS services, which may be indicative of bulletproof or low-reputation hosting. The IP address 186.2.175.109 has not been further analyzed for associated malicious activity, and no additional context is available regarding its autonomous system or geolocation. The domain's content has not been fully analyzed, so the precise phishing mechanics—such as credential harvesting, fake login portals, or malicious payload delivery—remain uncertain. Recommended actions include blocking the domain and its associated IP at the network perimeter, monitoring for internal connections to 186.2.175.109, and reviewing logs for any prior interactions. If the domain is encountered in user reports or proxy logs, defenders should treat it as high-risk and prioritize containment. Further analysis of the domain's content and hosting provider may yield additional indicators, but current evidence supports immediate mitigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-5AF06D Favicon MD5: ef783f9abbac192fd88c5996228a1db2 TLS cert SHA-256: 220932a6e0c6d44749e2452642281fda8ccf73cd50417e55959de7537c4baa8b ## 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/defx-perps.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=defx-perps.com 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.
