# PhishDestroy threat dossier — fintopsignaltrades.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 14:43:29 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fintopsignaltrades.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Messenger Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.23.159.170 (US, Buffalo) ASN: ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US Hosting org: AS36352 HostPapa Registrar: Internet Domain Service BS Corp. Nameservers: ns5.zillionkinghost.com, ns6.zillionkinghost.com Registered: 2024-09-05 Expires: 2025-09-05 Page title: Fintopsignaltrades HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2024-09-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-09 14:06:40 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-01 14:45:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988fcc-5eeb-762a-a18d-f1c1dc06346e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fintopsignaltrades.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fintopsignaltrades.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fintopsignaltrades.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fintopsignaltrades.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fintopsignaltrades.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:16:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies fintopsignaltrades.com as a domain associated with generic phishing activities. The domain was registered recently, on September 5, 2024, and was used to impersonate financial trading services, potentially targeting users seeking investment signals or trading tips. The domain resolved to IP address 198.23.159.170 and was flagged by multiple security vendors and appeared on several security blocklists, indicating a moderate risk level. It was registered through Internet Domain Service BS Corp., a common registrar for various domains. The page title 'Fintopsignaltrades' suggests an attempt to attract users interested in financial market insights. Currently, fintopsignaltrades.com is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, its prior activity highlights the importance of vigilance when dealing with new or unverified financial service websites. Users are advised to avoid interacting with suspicious domains and report any phishing attempts to help prevent fraud. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: a4686bb553746e5eaf7b3767cab728c1acd8ca523b28191a0919321bac9e211b ## 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/fintopsignaltrades.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fintopsignaltrades.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.
