# PhishDestroy threat dossier — optimaxtrade.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 06:50:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/optimaxtrade.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ESET, Fortinet, Netcraft AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.4.216 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown Nameservers: drew.ns.cloudflare.com, harlee.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-11-13 Expires: 2026-11-13 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: fd92aad743dbd1b07c0016ed114eb7f358a344b82632e80bc1606b819b4bfc47 ## 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: 2025-11-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:09:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:49:43 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b6e-9b80-7168-b23d-1125e0680675/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fec2f0d5-edb8-44b3-8dfc-16284609377e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/optimaxtrade.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.optimaxtrade.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=optimaxtrade.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/optimaxtrade.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/optimaxtrade.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:25:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, optimaxtrade.com, operates as a fraudulent trading platform designed to deceive users into depositing funds or disclosing sensitive financial credentials. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate cryptocurrency or forex trading services, likely employing fake dashboards, fabricated profit reports, and urgency-driven prompts to manipulate victims into transferring assets. The threat extends beyond credential theft, as interactions may lead to direct financial loss through unauthorized transactions or malware deployment targeting wallet applications. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on November 13, 2025, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. As of the latest scan, only 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, suggesting either recent activation or evasion techniques to bypass detection. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.4.216 and is currently hosted on infrastructure utilizing a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which provides a false sense of legitimacy. It appears on one security blocklist and remains active despite partial vendor recognition. Users who have visited optimaxtrade.com or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke access to any linked financial accounts, including cryptocurrency wallets and banking platforms. Change passwords for all associated accounts, enable multi-factor authentication, and monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity. If funds were transferred, report the incident to local cybercrime authorities and provide transaction hashes or wallet addresses used. Do not interact with follow-up communications, as threat actors may attempt further social engineering. Isolate any devices used to access the domain and perform a full malware scan to detect potential secondary infections. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-75B2C5 Favicon MD5: 69810a51f6093ed643fddff49972c30c TLS cert SHA-256: fd92aad743dbd1b07c0016ed114eb7f358a344b82632e80bc1606b819b4bfc47 ## 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/optimaxtrade.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=optimaxtrade.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.
