# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hedz-trading.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 00:12:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hedz-trading.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: URLQuery URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 149.33.0.173 (KZ, Almaty) ASN: AS58061 Scalaxy B.V. Hosting org: 3NT SOLUTIONS LLP Registrar: Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records. Primary source: https://phishdestroy.io/trustname-bulletproof-exposed Nameservers: ["ares.trustname.com", "zeus.trustname.com"] Registered: 2026-04-28 Page title: Hedz Trading Side HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8de2589e45abdc4192fd3266dcba8a200b0bffe87f1576d95d6e08945f04330e Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.hedz-trading.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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 19:10:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-28 16:41:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-07 01:21:49 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:33:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd4d9-817f-73d8-be11-e8fe84b9792e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8eb2d354-6abd-4b56-b1f4-1940bb3ed397 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hedz-trading.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hedz-trading.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hedz-trading.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hedz-trading.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hedz-trading.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 19:12:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies hedz-trading.com as a live generic phishing campaign masquerading as a cryptocurrency trading platform. This domain was flagged on March 15, 2026, and is actively resolving to IP 149.33.0.173 while using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The low VirusTotal detection rate of 0/95 suggests the threat actor is avoiding signature-based detection, relying instead on social engineering tactics to lure victims into depositing funds into fraudulent wallets. Trustname.com’s Fewmoretaps OU registered this domain just days ago, indicating a fast-moving operation designed to exploit unsuspecting investors. This threat poses a direct financial risk to cryptocurrency traders and retail investors who may be enticed by promises of high returns or exclusive trading opportunities. The domain’s recent creation date and minimal detection coverage on VirusTotal reveal a campaign in its early stages, likely targeting users searching for alternative trading platforms or arbitrage services. The use of a legitimate-looking SSL certificate and a deceptive trading facade increases the likelihood of successful deception, especially among users not exercising caution with newly registered domains. If you or someone in your network has visited hedz-trading.com, cease all interactions immediately. Do not enter any personal information, login credentials, or deposit funds. Scan your devices for malware using reputable antivirus software and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to your cybersecurity team or through platforms like PhishDestroy to help block its distribution. Always verify the legitimacy of trading platforms by checking official sources and community feedback before engaging. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-18A3DD Favicon MD5: 7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da TLS cert SHA-256: 8de2589e45abdc4192fd3266dcba8a200b0bffe87f1576d95d6e08945f04330e ## 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/hedz-trading.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hedz-trading.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.
