## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-27 11:11:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

tradegeniex.com Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected

The domain tradegeniex.com was registered on February 01, 2025 through Tucows Domains Inc. and is currently resolved to the IP address 208.98.35.115. The authoritative name servers are ns1.site4now.net, ns2.site4now.net, and ns3.site4now.net, indicating the use of the Site4Now hosting platform. Threat intelligence shows the domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that it is being used for malicious purposes.

VirusTotal analysis reports that 11 out of 91 scanned security vendors flag the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing activity. The domain’s status remains active as of the report date, July 27, 2026, suggesting an ongoing campaign. No public page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes have been disclosed, leaving the exact content and delivery mechanism of the phishing page unverified.

Consequently, defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk and implement immediate mitigation steps: add tradegeniex.com to DNS blocklists, enforce network‑level filtering for the associated IP 208.98.35.115, and monitor any outbound connections to the identified name servers. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional indicators such as page content, brand impersonation, or payload characteristics may emerge in future analyses.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9200225b96881264e6481c77d69c622c
TLS cert SHA-256:      995601d7ae335ad50eb7a0c3a69374b7f2c92ee00b09563d37ce3601695702b3

## 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.
