# PhishDestroy threat dossier — gtcfxinvesting.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 05:32:42 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gtcfxinvesting.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 47/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 176.57.66.209 (RU, Moscow) ASN: AS57724 DDOS-GUARD LTD Hosting org: Tilda Publishing Registrar: Reliable Software Nameservers: ns1.tildadns.com, ns2.tildadns.com Registered: 2026-05-12 Expires: 2027-05-12 Page title: Брокер №1 для Форекса, Индексов и Крипты ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: fe8fd6026e0db446b4371f9169b693462df5c6f3ccf8ce72c4e18996b94fae43 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.gtcfxinvesting.com ## 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: 2026-05-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 08:35:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-03 06:38:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 04:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 12:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f26af-da35-71f8-be7f-8fb75eba38ef/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/96f3816e-ca15-4881-8d3f-806289fc4ca0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gtcfxinvesting.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gtcfxinvesting.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gtcfxinvesting.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gtcfxinvesting.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gtcfxinvesting.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 08:44:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, gtcfxinvesting.com, is flagged as a generic phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users through deceptive private investment schemes. Analysis of the page title, 'New Private Tab,' suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate private browsing or secure investment portals, though no specific brand impersonation or known drainer kit signatures have been identified at this stage. The domain lacks overt branding but leverages generic financial or crypto-related lures to deceive victims into disclosing credentials or transferring assets. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 176.57.66.209 and was registered on May 12, 2026, through Reliable Software. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious domains. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating no prior flagging by security vendors. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, and no blocklist entries have been recorded as of the latest assessment. The domain's creation date is anomalous, predating the current date by several years, which may indicate a typo-squatting tactic or an error in registration records. The domain remains active and under investigation, with no takedown or sinkholing actions observed. The absence of detections on VirusTotal and blocklists does not diminish the risk, as phishing infrastructure often operates undetected during initial deployment. Users are advised to treat any interaction with gtcfxinvesting.com as malicious and avoid entering credentials, downloading files, or connecting wallets. Network-level blocking of the IP 176.57.66.209 is recommended for organizations to prevent access. Continued monitoring of this infrastructure is warranted to assess evolving tactics or shifts in targeting.

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 (operator 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/gtcfxinvesting.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gtcfxinvesting.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
