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: 2026-04-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 14:15:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 17:50:07 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:40:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecb33-f980-77cd-9b7b-efec7c4db6b3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/481ef8bb-460e-44da-846a-de0272f03035 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tmgmicon.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tmgmicon.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tmgmicon.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tmgmicon.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tmgmicon.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:01:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, tmgmicon.com, is identified as a forex brokerage impersonation scheme designed to deceive users into disclosing trading account credentials or depositing funds into fraudulent accounts. The site mimics TMGM, a legitimate multi-asset broker, by replicating its branding, regulatory claims, and trading platform partnerships, specifically MetaTrader 4 (MT4). The page title, 'TMGM中国官方网站丨值得信赖的外汇经纪商丨MT4合作伙伴,' directly targets Chinese-speaking users, falsely presenting itself as an official and trustworthy platform. Such impersonation attacks often lead to unauthorized account access, financial theft, or installation of malicious trading software under the guise of legitimate platform downloads. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of fraudulent activity. The domain was registered on April 12, 2026, through DNSPod, Inc., a registrar frequently associated with phishing and scam operations. It resolves to the IP address 47.242.145.66 and is currently offline, though prior activity has been recorded. The domain appears on three independent security blocklists and is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for fraudulent financial services. Additionally, the SSL certificate issued by TrustAsia Technologies, Inc. does not validate legitimacy, as such certificates are routinely used to lend a false sense of security to malicious sites. The domain has also been documented in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its malicious classification. Users who visited tmgmicon.com should immediately cease all interaction and take corrective actions. Any credentials entered on the site must be considered compromised and should be reset across all platforms, especially trading or financial accounts. If personal or financial information was submitted, monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions and report suspicious activity to relevant financial institutions. It is recommended to scan local devices for malware, as such sites often distribute malicious payloads disguised as trading tools or platform installers. Users should verify the authenticity of any financial service by accessing official domains directly through verified sources and never via links from emails, ads, or third-party sites. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-9542F9 Favicon MD5: 7372dd9cfaa8284441ef6093d16feae4 TLS cert SHA-256: e8ab22656b722a223d89b6fd3c4ec33d267c6f2cc70cbedef6abff0e4201abf8 ## 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/tmgmicon.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tmgmicon.com 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.
