No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-25 06:37:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-25 07:50:03 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc2b5-1d30-72bb-b12f-dd87babef1e3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pay-for-usdt-trc20-000012.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pay-for-usdt-trc20-000012.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pay-for-usdt-trc20-000012.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pay-for-usdt-trc20-000012.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pay-for-usdt-trc20-000012.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-25 06:38:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pay-for-usdt-trc20-000012.pages.dev as an active OKX brand impersonation threat currently under investigation. This domain leverages the OKX brand name to deceive users into transferring USDT via the TRC20 network, creating a high-risk scenario for cryptocurrency holders seeking legitimate exchange services. d6f3c8 seed data confirms the page remains operational and actively serving malicious content. Users mistaking this imposter for the legitimate OKX platform risk irreversible asset loss due to fraudulent withdrawal prompts and credential harvesting mechanisms. This investigation reveals critical technical indicators that demand immediate attention. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, a Cloudflare-hosted address with no confirmed listings on major threat intelligence databases as of this report. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, adds a veneer of legitimacy while failing to mask the site’s malicious intent. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scanners, though the site remains unlisted on URLVoid, PhishTank, and OpenPhish blocklists. The domain registration through Cloudflare, Inc. provides anonymity layers that obscure the true operator’s identity, a common tactic among fraudulent cryptocurrency impersonation schemes. Mitigation against this specific threat requires layered defensive actions. Immediately block the IP address 188.114.96.3 at the network perimeter and user endpoints to prevent access to the impersonation portal. Educate cryptocurrency users to verify site authenticity through OKX’s official domain (okx.com) and enable multi-factor authentication on legitimate exchange accounts. Report the domain to Cloudflare’s abuse team and all major threat intelligence platforms to accelerate takedown efforts. Users who may have entered credentials should immediately revoke API keys and monitor wallet transactions for unauthorized movements. Due to the TRC20 integration, recovery of transferred USDT may be impossible, making prevention the only viable defense against this impersonation campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 85ecbe16b62755bc056c8c83e7ac16aac722911af8a96b07d1b811a3418a2021 ## 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/pay-for-usdt-trc20-000012.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pay-for-usdt-trc20-000012.pages.dev 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.
