# PhishDestroy threat dossier — octtrade.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 17:31:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/octtrade.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 49/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.84.200 (LU, Luxembourg) ASN: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: FranTech Solutions Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ns5.asurahosting.com, ns5.my-control-panel.com, ns6.asurahosting.com, ns6.my-control-panel.com Registered: 2024-05-24 Page title: OctTrade - Smooth Trading In Cryptocurrency, Forex, CFDs, Stocks, Bonds Etc ## 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: 2024-05-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-20 07:57:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-20 04:58:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:10:32 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-20 08:00:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019da93f-4be8-733e-b655-56f63bd1a6a1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ce873096-5663-4899-899a-7261e91732f9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/octtrade.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.octtrade.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=octtrade.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/octtrade.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/octtrade.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-20 07:58:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy analysts have flagged octtrade.com as an active crypto-draining phishing domain under investigation. This newly registered domain (created May 24, 2024) is engineered to impersonate legitimate cryptocurrency platforms, redirecting victims to fraudulent withdrawal portals that silently exfiltrate digital assets. The site leverages a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate (validating to IP 198.251.84.200) to appear trustworthy while hosting malicious JavaScript payloads designed for wallet address substitution. Cryptocurrency users are particularly vulnerable to these ‘generic’ drainers, which often fly under detection radar until irreversible transfers occur. This domain was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB using privacy-protective measures, complicating attribution. VirusTotal’s multi-engine scan currently shows zero detections (0/95), highlighting how rapidly emerging domains evade traditional defenses. The lack of historical blocklist hits suggests this is a fresh operation, with threat actors banking on obscurity during the critical first 48-hour window. Technical analysis reveals the domain resolves to a bulletproof hosting provider, with autonomous system number AS200052 associated with known malicious infrastructure. If you visited or entered credentials on octtrade.com, immediately disconnect from the internet and scan all devices for malware. Revoke any wallet connection permissions via blockchain explorers or your wallet’s ‘connected apps’ menu. Report the domain to your crypto exchange and file an incident with CipherTrace if funds were exposed. Enable multi-factor authentication on all exchange accounts and consider transferring remaining assets to cold storage. Monitor transaction histories for suspicious activity, as crypto drainers often operate with delayed withdrawal phases to avoid immediate detection. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-796B6C Favicon MD5: 25498d260341ce098057c58d98b9a96c ## 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/octtrade.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=octtrade.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.
