primetradenetwork.cc Generic Phishing Alert

Analysis of the domain primetradenetwork.cc as of July 27, 2026 shows an active high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure. The domain was registered on 24 December 2025 through GoDaddy.com, LLC and uses the default GoDaddy nameservers ns77.domaincontrol.com and ns78.domaincontrol.com. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 216.198.79.1, which remains reachable and is the same host observed in two AlienVault OTX threat‑intel pulses.

The domain is currently listed on one public security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. VirusTotal scans have recorded detections from two of ninety‑one participating security vendors, indicating that at least a minority of scanners consider the site malicious. No additional public evidence such as a page title, SSL certificate details, or an identified target brand has been published, so the exact phishing lure employed by the site cannot be confirmed at this time.

The lack of visible branding or landing‑page analysis limits attribution of the specific victim‑facing content, but the combination of recent registration, GoDaddy hosting, active DNS, and multiple independent detections meets the criteria for a high‑confidence phishing indicator. Defenders should add primetradenetwork.cc to inbound and outbound deny lists, monitor traffic to 216.198.79.1, and consider sharing the indicator with threat‑sharing communities. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further analysis of the web content may reveal the targeted brand or additional malicious payloads.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       3ba0247910ec678ce4a3bebadabda342
TLS cert SHA-256:      142ee537e5924ee594610e6fc5de2e91864330b5bdec0881f16edd36c8e5b755

## 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.
