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: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-11 21:05:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-11 18:38:24 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 21:43:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 08:39:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d7db7-8b39-75c9-a650-eb98fe3a2f4d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/dca5e87a-f16d-4a08-ae0a-e2bbe7107950 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/fxtrade-portugal.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.fxtrade-portugal.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=fxtrade-portugal.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/fxtrade-portugal.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/fxtrade-portugal.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-11 21:06:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] fxtrade-portugal.com is identified as a generic phishing domain potentially targeting victims by impersonating a forex trading platform. No specific brand is clearly spoofed, but its setup suggests an intent to deceive users into submitting sensitive information, possibly using a drainer kit to harvest credentials. The domain was created on April 07, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 104.21.6.21. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal analysis shows 0 out of 95 engines flagging this domain, indicating it remains under the radar of many scanners. There is no current Google Safe Browsing blacklist status or public blocklist counts reported. fxtrade-portugal.com remains active and under investigation. Despite no detections on VirusTotal, users should exercise caution as the domain exhibits traits common in phishing scams. Immediate blocking and further monitoring are recommended. Users should avoid providing any personal or financial data on this site until its legitimacy is conclusively cleared. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-AF4C93 Favicon MD5: 813c0e0a1e8b8171d65e75b2004b195c TLS cert SHA-256: ec152173e89ccf203720686cb2e26a25d9fb4157bc735b6a5721208979833f87 ## 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/fxtrade-portugal.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=fxtrade-portugal.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.
