Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Registered: 2025-08-01 Expires: 2026-08-01 Page title: Secure FX Trading | CFD Trading — Trading on Stocks, Gold, Oil, Indices ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-08-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-10-27 13:06:55 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-08 05:36:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a25c7-45dd-7127-adc4-6083c5544287/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/securefxtrading.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.securefxtrading.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=securefxtrading.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/securefxtrading.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/securefxtrading.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-27 04:47:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, securefxtrading.live, is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting users of contract-for-difference (CFD) trading platforms. The site presents itself as a legitimate trading service under the name 'Secure FX Trading,' offering access to stocks, gold, oil, and indices. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to deceive users into disclosing financial credentials or depositing funds into fraudulent accounts, leveraging the perceived legitimacy of CFD trading brands. The page title, 'Secure FX Trading | CFD Trading — Trading on Stocks, Gold, Oil, Indices,' directly mirrors the language used by established trading platforms, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks. Evidence supporting this assessment includes multiple technical indicators. The domain was registered on August 01, 2025, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. VirusTotal detection metrics show 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on at least one security blocklist. The domain resolves to the IP address 109.176.207.222, which has been linked to prior phishing campaigns targeting financial services. Additionally, the domain holds a trust score of 0/100, further corroborating its malicious intent. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was taken offline following detection, though residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with it during its active period. Users who visited securefxtrading.live or provided any sensitive information should take immediate action to mitigate potential harm. First, cease all interaction with the domain and avoid clicking any links or downloading files associated with it. If financial credentials or payment details were entered, contact the relevant financial institution to report potential fraud and request account monitoring or freezing. Reset passwords for any accounts that may have been exposed, particularly those linked to trading platforms or financial services. Monitor bank and trading accounts for unauthorized transactions, and consider reporting the incident to local cybercrime authorities or financial regulatory bodies. Given the elevated risk level, users should also scan their devices for malware using updated security tools to ensure no secondary infections were introduced. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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/securefxtrading.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=securefxtrading.live 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.
