# PhishDestroy threat dossier — fxtrad.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 14:26:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/fxtrad.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.87.196 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["quentin.ns.cloudflare.com", "vida.ns.cloudflare.com"] Page title: Fxtrad ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 18e2e219cd75a85fb2fc50c34f47271aa70503b2de42e60ef3d5a2dfe1a85d12 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-09 20:58:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 19:05:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 00:51:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eadc0-ffd8-7638-bd11-0d16cebb461e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c6d80dc2-49e3-44f9-a8f3-2b30d042c2c9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fxtrad.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fxtrad.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fxtrad.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fxtrad.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fxtrad.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:32:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, fxtrad.com, is identified as a phishing infrastructure specifically targeting users of financial trading platforms. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate trading interfaces to harvest user credentials, including usernames, passwords, and potentially two-factor authentication codes. The threat extends to financial fraud, as compromised accounts may be used for unauthorized transactions or sold on underground markets. The domain's infrastructure and content were engineered to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a genuine trading service, increasing the likelihood of successful credential theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting this assessment. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.87.196 and was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, with 3 out of 95 engines detecting malicious activity. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is referenced in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. Additionally, the site employed a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic among phishing domains to create a false sense of security. The page title, 'Fxtrad,' further suggests an attempt to impersonate a financial service provider. Users who visited fxtrad.com or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, all passwords associated with the compromised account should be changed, prioritizing financial and email accounts. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enabled where available, using app-based or hardware tokens rather than SMS-based methods. Affected users are advised to monitor their financial statements for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious activity to their financial institution. Additionally, scanning the device used to access the site for malware is recommended, as phishing pages may deploy additional payloads. If credentials were reused across multiple platforms, those accounts should also be secured to prevent lateral compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260609-F23712 TLS cert SHA-256: 18e2e219cd75a85fb2fc50c34f47271aa70503b2de42e60ef3d5a2dfe1a85d12 ## 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/fxtrad.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fxtrad.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.
