Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified tradeexplore247.com as a generic phishing domain targeting individuals seeking investment opportunities, impersonating a safe trading platform under the guise of 'Tradeexplore247 – Safe investment with Tradeexplore247'. This domain is currently offline, but its previous activity posed an elevated risk to users who may have been lured by promises of secure financial growth. Technical analysis reveals that tradeexplore247.com resolved to IP address 51.38.146.100 and was registered through Bluehost Inc. on June 15, 2026. The domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it appeared on three security blocklists. Its SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), which is common among legitimate sites but also frequently abused by phishing operations. These indicators, combined with the domain's recent creation and lack of reputation, strongly suggest fraudulent intent. Although the domain has been taken offline, users who previously encountered it should monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity and avoid engaging with any similar unsolicited investment offers. PhishDestroy recommends using updated security software and enabling multi-factor authentication on financial accounts to mitigate risks. If you have interacted with this site, report it to relevant authorities and consider freezing your credit to prevent identity theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-11728D Favicon MD5: 617c8ad06541e4b5622cc5f3c8e21815 TLS cert SHA-256: d7594470cf5be9f7837c222ebd0c54265505670e2f1ef4ba06016f26ec92ea42 ## 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/tradeexplore247.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tradeexplore247.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.
