Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] icxmarket-traders.com generic phishing campaign observed icxmarket-traders.com was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on 10 March 2024. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 198.54.116.89 and uses the authoritative name servers dns1.namecheaphosting.com and dns2.namecheaphosting.com. The infrastructure is hosted on a Namecheap hosting platform, a service frequently abused for short‑lived malicious domains. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, indicating that at least one security provider has observed malicious activity associated with the host. VirusTotal records show that the domain has been submitted to the service and examined by 91 scanning engines; none of the engines reported a detection at the time of analysis. While the lack of detections does not guarantee benign behavior, it does suggest that automated signatures have not yet been deployed against the observed payloads. The threat classification supplied is “generic phishing,” but no additional details such as targeted brand, page title, or credential‑stealing kit have been disclosed. Consequently, the exact phishing vector, lure content, and victim profile remain uncertain. No public SSL/TLS certificate information, HTTP status code, or Safe Browsing verdict is available in the current intelligence set, leaving the surface‑level behavior of the web server unverified. Given the limited but concrete evidence, defenders should add icxmarket-traders.com to URL filtering and domain reputation lists, enforce blocklisting in proxy and firewall devices, and monitor DNS queries for the associated name servers. Continuous re‑inspection of the domain on VirusTotal and other sandbox services is recommended, as future scans may reveal malicious payloads or behavioral indicators. Organizations that employ email security gateways should also flag messages containing this domain as suspicious, and incident response teams should be prepared to investigate any credential submissions that reference the domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-A96D09 Favicon MD5: c33d1fe3b4b39607c2996f2aa440b7de TLS cert SHA-256: 95875098335d4e6b50e11a8b4aa6a55c844a63965a3293da89e0993c6865060d ## 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 (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/icxmarket-traders.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=icxmarket-traders.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.
