Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies okex-trade.com as a medium-risk generic phishing domain attempting to deceive users under the guise of a legitimate message notification. Although the domain is currently offline, the potential threat remains significant due to its recent creation and malicious intent targeting unsuspecting victims. The domain, registered on October 19, 2024, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, resolves to IP address 107.173.193.235 and has appeared on at least one security blocklist. VirusTotal flagged it with 6 out of 95 security vendors marking it as suspicious. The site’s page title, "1 new message," is a common phishing lure designed to prompt immediate user interaction. These factors collectively indicate an infrastructure built to facilitate credential theft or other fraudulent activity. Users and organizations should continue to exercise caution by avoiding all interactions with this domain and similar suspicious URLs. Employing updated security solutions, monitoring blocklists, and educating users about phishing tactics are crucial steps in mitigating risk. Although offline now, phishing campaigns can quickly resurface, so vigilance remains essential. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 4c13d452dd5d49671bd93ca32f2b4f85c78e39b6ab0ad1f38d98ed267f8fd896 ## 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/okex-trade.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=okex-trade.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.
