## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: amazon (and: apple, facebook)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      107.173.193.235 (US, Buffalo)
ASN:             ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US
Hosting org:     AS36352 HostPapa
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2025-08-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2025-08-09 15:08:32 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-05-01 02:21:05 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:50:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies expertsmarkettrds.com as a generic phishing domain designed to lure victims under the guise of investment opportunities. The site’s page title, "Expert Market Trades | Profitable Investment WithExpert Market Trades," suggests fraudulent financial services aimed at soliciting sensitive information from users.

Technical indicators show the domain was registered on August 3, 2025, via NameSilo, LLC, and resolved to the IP address 107.173.193.235. The domain appeared on one security blocklist, and VirusTotal flagged it by only 1 out of 95 security vendors, indicating a low detection rate but potential risk. These indicators point to a low-risk phishing infrastructure that might have been in early stages or limited in distribution.

Currently, expertsmarkettrds.com is taken offline, mitigating immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends users remain cautious about similar investment-themed domains and avoid accessing or submitting any personal information on suspicious platforms. Continuous monitoring is advised as threat actors often reuse infrastructure or register similar domains.

## 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.
