## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:17:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fxtrademasterclass.com as a generic phishing domain targeting users interested in cryptocurrency investments. The site poses a risk by impersonating legitimate trading platforms to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive information, potentially leading to financial loss. Despite its low-risk rating, vigilance is advised due to the nature of phishing threats and the domain's recent creation.

Analysis of the domain reveals it was registered on November 14, 2023, through Tucows Domains Inc. It resolves to IP address 64.20.42.242 and has a very low trust score of 1 out of 100 on Scamadviser. The domain has been flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on three security blocklists. Currently, fxtrademasterclass.com is offline, limiting its immediate threat but indicating prior malicious activity.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain or providing any personal or financial information. Given the low trust and multiple blocklist appearances, it is recommended to use caution when encountering similar cryptocurrency investment platforms, always verifying legitimacy through trusted sources. Keeping security software updated and monitoring domain reputation can help mitigate risks associated with phishing attempts like those from fxtrademasterclass.com.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       d5a89e26beae0bc03ad18a0b0d1d3d75f87c32047879d25da11970cb5c4662a3

## 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.
