## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-15 20:14:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

pc.goldtraded.com is a confirmed crypto drainer phishing domain impersonating GoldTraded, a legitimate cryptocurrency trading platform, to harvest wallet credentials and drain digital assets. This domain deploys a drainer kit designed to trick users into connecting their crypto wallets, exfiltrating private keys and tokens under the guise of legitimate transactions. The threat actor leverages deceptive branding to exploit trust in established platforms, targeting victims seeking cryptocurrency services or giveaways.  This domain resolves to IP address 172.67.179.46 and was registered via Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on August 23, 2020. PhishDestroy identifies this domain as an active phishing threat with a VirusTotal detection rate of just 1 out of 95 security vendors, indicating low visibility in automated defenses. Despite being flagged in fewer than 2% of scans, the domain utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Additional forensic data indicates this domain is unlisted in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and remains absent from most public blocklists, increasing exposure risk to unsuspecting users.  As of the latest assessment, pc.goldtraded.com remains active and unblocked by major browsers or security platforms. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain under seed 4bed27, categorizing it as elevated risk due to its crypto drainer functionality. Users are urged to avoid interaction and verify any cryptocurrency-related domains through PhishDestroy before proceeding. The persistent operation of this domain highlights the growing sophistication of crypto phishing campaigns and the need for heightened vigilance in digital asset transactions.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       4a8c24c90b1eef1cbac3ea6fcc152b43
TLS cert SHA-256:      8b2d29d7c923146f77bb84167c1aa2bc55fb62a3aac3e2c5c74387f3a569c488

## 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.
