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: 2026-06-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 18:53:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 16:57:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:03:05 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019effb2-bf63-713e-bbea-0ce016aefede/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/75806d15-2536-4df7-9f6f-c650f45cb8e4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hightradeglobal.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hightradeglobal.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hightradeglobal.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hightradeglobal.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hightradeglobal.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:59:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, hightradeglobal.com, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site targeting users of cryptocurrency trading platforms. Analysis indicates it employs credential harvesting techniques, likely designed to mimic legitimate trading interfaces to deceive victims into submitting sensitive account details. The domain does not appear to be associated with any known drainer kit at this time, but its infrastructure and SSL certificate suggest a professional phishing operation. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 23, 2026, through DYNADOT LLC, a registrar frequently utilized in phishing campaigns. It resolves to the IP address 198.251.89.82, which has been linked to other malicious activities in recent threat intelligence reports. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 2 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, indicating limited but growing detection. The domain currently lacks Google Safe Browsing (GSB) classification, and no blocklist entries were identified in major threat intelligence feeds at the time of analysis. The domain remains active and continues to pose a significant risk to users who may encounter it through phishing emails, malicious advertisements, or compromised third-party platforms. Response actions should include immediate reporting to the registrar for suspension, submission to additional threat intelligence platforms to improve detection rates, and dissemination of indicators of compromise (IOCs) to enterprise security teams. Users are advised to verify the authenticity of any trading platform by cross-referencing official domains and enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) to mitigate the risk of credential theft. Given the domain's recent creation and low detection rate, heightened vigilance is recommended for organizations and individuals operating in the cryptocurrency space. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-68A89C TLS cert SHA-256: 09c46366e03d3eaf4955490c23fde61ff76eaebe69c6340fff1d8e9d0f093214 ## 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/hightradeglobal.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hightradeglobal.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.
