Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] empiretradingsltd.com: Confirmed Phishing Site empiretradingsltd.com was first observed on March 29 2025 when the WHOIS record was created by the registrar GO54 Limited. The domain currently resolves to the IPv4 address 13.140.159.163 and uses the name servers ns1.vicserverscp.com, ns2.vicserverscp.com, nsa.webhosting-server.com and nsb.webhosti. The hosting infrastructure is identified as a typical shared hosting environment, and no additional infrastructure details such as ASN or country are disclosed in the available intelligence. The site is listed on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. VirusTotal analysis shows that one out of ninety‑one scanned scanners raised a detection, confirming the presence of malicious activity. The threat is classified as generic phishing and the risk rating is high; the operational status remains active as of the report date, July 27 2026. Defenders should continue to enforce blocklists that include empiretradingsltd.com, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address, and consider adding the domain to internal deny lists. Because the page content, SSL certificate details, and HTTP response codes have not been publicly disclosed, further investigation is required to determine the exact phishing payload and any credential‑stealing mechanisms. Until such analysis is completed, the domain should be treated as a high‑confidence phishing indicator and isolated from user traffic. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-E06275 Favicon MD5: 64807b8a45ea22f16903ec4483d516a5 TLS cert SHA-256: c72abeb1d52b028577aa129374e7139904dd63ee168774c9246956bd7d7d7929 ## 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/empiretradingsltd.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=empiretradingsltd.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.
