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: 2026-01-31 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-19 02:17:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-19 00:27:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 03:04:31 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 00:16:34 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edd3b-e139-7578-affc-09b1c344d301/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/27757c76-bf21-4cac-94b0-a12d16d73c4d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/embertrades.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.embertrades.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=embertrades.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/embertrades.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/embertrades.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-19 03:54:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies embertrades.com as an active generic phishing threat currently under investigation, with a risk level marking it as suspicious. This domain poses a significant danger as it mimics legitimate trading platforms to steal login credentials and financial information from unsuspecting users. The site remains operational, which means anyone visiting could be deceived into submitting sensitive data. The domain was registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu and resolves to IP address 194.36.191.196, with its SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1). Created on January 31, 2026, it has not yet appeared on any major blocklists. VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, indicating it is a fresh threat still flying under the radar. Despite the lack of detection, the combination of a recent registration and generic phishing structure strongly suggests malicious intent. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting embertrades.com or clicking any links from it. Do not enter personal, financial, or login information on the site. If you have already submitted data, change passwords immediately, enable two-factor authentication on affected accounts, and monitor for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to your email provider or security team to help block access for others. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260619-19DDCC Favicon MD5: b15e0cfba377368b92479333113e3662 TLS cert SHA-256: dd46821bdd22b13141c5056e916eb42191d52bbee68088ef8d706b3058b0b005 ## 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/embertrades.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=embertrades.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
