# PhishDestroy threat dossier — event-bulktrade.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 20:32:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/event-bulktrade.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 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: camilo.ns.cloudflare.com, carol.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-01 Expires: 2027-06-01 Page title: Bulk Trade ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7e55de32d851aefdcd7fb578eb00b8a0a7d49c12fb14151360ef434c0d82a8fe ## 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: 2026-06-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-02 11:29:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-02 11:29:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-03 03:25:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8772-4020-71e3-bf6c-ba58b1c013bb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/event-bulktrade.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.event-bulktrade.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=event-bulktrade.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/event-bulktrade.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/event-bulktrade.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 02:34:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active cryptocurrency phishing infrastructure targeting digital asset holders. Analysis indicates a deliberate attempt to impersonate legitimate bulk trading platforms, leveraging deceptive branding to harvest wallet credentials or private keys. The elevated risk classification stems from confirmed malicious activity, including credential theft attempts and unauthorized transaction redirection, as documented by multiple independent security feeds. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain event-bulktrade.com was registered on June 01, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, an offshore registrar frequently associated with high-risk registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and employs Cloudflare for traffic obfuscation and DDoS protection. The site uses Framer Sites, React, jQuery, and HTTP/3, with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. Detection metrics include 6 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain on VirusTotal, while three distinct blocklists (including MetaMask and SEAL) have actively blocked it. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0 out of 100, further corroborating its malicious classification. The page title, Bulk Trade, mimics legitimate trading platforms to deceive users. Mitigation measures should prioritize immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP across all network security layers. Organizations handling cryptocurrency transactions should deploy strict access controls, including multi-factor authentication and hardware-based key storage, to prevent credential compromise. End users are advised to verify domain registration details via WHOIS queries before interacting with any trading platform, particularly those promising bulk transactions or high-yield returns. Security teams should monitor for similar domains registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED or resolving to 188.114.97.3, as these may indicate related phishing campaigns. Automated threat intelligence feeds should be updated to include this domain and its infrastructure indicators to prevent future exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 68eea50e16369d8c9878a64f617c2d1f TLS cert SHA-256: 7e55de32d851aefdcd7fb578eb00b8a0a7d49c12fb14151360ef434c0d82a8fe ## 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/event-bulktrade.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=event-bulktrade.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.
