## 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: 2026-03-24 00:24:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies profitable-trads.xyz as a domain exhibiting generic phishing characteristics, primarily leveraging a deceptive page titled "Profitable Trade Digital Center - Leveraging Artificial Intelligence." Although the risk level is assessed as low, this domain was flagged for potential malicious intent aimed at misleading users.

The domain was registered on September 20, 2025, through OwnRegistrar, Inc. and resolved to the IP address 192.3.190.186. It appeared on one security blocklist, and two out of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal marked it suspicious. The combination of these factors points to a setup commonly associated with phishing campaigns, though detection rates remain minimal.

Currently, profitable-trads.xyz is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. It is strongly recommended that users avoid visiting or interacting with this domain. Maintaining updated security software and exercising caution with unsolicited digital trading platforms will help mitigate exposure to such risks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

## 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.
