Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] tradefxmegaupdate.live — Credential Phishing Report The domain tradefxmegaupdate.live is currently active and has been identified as a credential phishing infrastructure. Registration data shows the domain was created on March 19, 2026 through Dynadot Inc, and the authoritative nameservers are ns1.tradefxmegaupdate.live and ns2.tradefxmegaupdate.live. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 50.6.200.60, which is the sole hosting endpoint observed for this campaign. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, indicating that at least one defensive feed is already distributing indicators for it. VirusTotal analysis reports that seven out of ninety‑one scanning engines flag the domain, providing modest but notable detection across multiple vendors. No public Safe Browsing, OTX, SSL certificate, HTTP status, trust‑score, or page‑title information is presently available, and no evidence links have been disclosed. The limited detection footprint suggests that the infrastructure is relatively new, consistent with the March creation date, and may still be in an early deployment phase. Defenders should add the domain and its resolving IP address to outbound and inbound filtering rules, monitor DNS queries for the associated nameservers, and ensure that any credential‑capture alerts referencing tradefxmegaupdate.live are treated with high priority. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑vendor services is recommended to capture any escalation in detection rates, and threat‑intel sharing platforms should be updated with the observed indicators to improve collective visibility. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-18924C Favicon MD5: cd4dc35a221f1ea3f4227b9cb8fe1e9e TLS cert SHA-256: 664354c1657b6bedcaa371cb648d78c7d2aac65aa84e129104a03fd41eaed016 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tradefxmegaupdate.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tradefxmegaupdate.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
