optimumoptiontrade.live: active phishing site targeting

Analysis of the domain optimumoptiontrade.live indicates a high-risk phishing operation active as of July 27, 2026. The domain was registered on November 17, 2023, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and currently resolves to IP address 198.187.31.193. Nameservers are set to dns1.namecheaphosting.com and dns2.namecheaphosting.com. VirusTotal reports that 9 out of 91 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, though the specific detection categories are not disclosed in available intelligence.

The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, suggesting a focus on financial or cryptocurrency-related credential harvesting. No evidence links, page titles, or brand targets are provided in the available data, limiting confirmation of the exact phishing kit or targeted institution. However, the presence of MetaMask among the blocking entities implies a potential cryptocurrency angle. The domain remains operational, with no indications of takedown or inactive status.

Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and prioritize blocking it at DNS, proxy, and endpoint layers. Network logs should be reviewed for connections to 198.187.31.193 or the domain itself, particularly from systems handling financial or cryptocurrency transactions. Further analysis of the site’s content, if accessible, is recommended to identify specific phishing techniques or targeted brands.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260727-B1CA5F
Favicon MD5:       c1ce989bd2adb42f870fb1793fecf5f0
TLS cert SHA-256:      2f63ce039adc2954fb306e8922a90857d1ee0e638b72777a14d02bf4deab482f

## 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.
