Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies gicoin.trade as a medium-risk generic phishing domain. It mimics legitimate cryptocurrency services under the page title 'GIC' to deceive users. The domain was registered recently on February 26, 2025, indicating a new threat actor’s campaign. The domain resolves to IP 169.61.89.200 and is registered through Name.com, Inc. It appears on three distinct security blocklists and is referenced in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. These indicators confirm its malicious intent and ongoing use in phishing operations. Currently, gicoin.trade remains active and continues to pose a threat to users. PhishDestroy advises immediate blocking and monitoring of any related activity to prevent credential theft or financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 94bf36f94f8091b7a0e1cc0bd5c8d7d6d66adb19cac03ef49361f7d23d9d5bc2 TLS cert SHA-256: f48ae9d7a49cc31e1485be9819a2be940fd0bedf5eafa96ecb3eb413c13bfb59 ## 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/gicoin.trade/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gicoin.trade 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.
