# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tradegeniusfx.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-26 13:17:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tradegeniusfx.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 35.157.26.135 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS EC2 (eu-central-1) Registrar: Web4Africa Inc. Nameservers: dns1.p05.nsone.net, dns2.p05.nsone.net, dns3.p05.nsone.net, dns4.p05.nsone.net Registered: 2026-05-04 Page title: Coinbase Stock Minning ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d911478e3f38ade3002700fa8063cff3d05f993c328d99c6a316d6463c21d58d ## 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: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-04 15:05:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-04 12:08:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-26 13:20:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:03:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019df2df-618e-7017-9246-7ea1a4a181ed/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ec2b0ff7-858b-429e-b792-cf24fc352f97 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tradegeniusfx.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tradegeniusfx.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tradegeniusfx.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tradegeniusfx.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tradegeniusfx.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-04 15:07:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies tradegeniusfx.com as an active crypto drainer domain designed to deceive users into connecting fraudulent cryptocurrency wallets or revealing seed phrases. This domain was flagged on August 03, 2025, the same day it was registered through Web4Africa Inc., and currently resolves to IP 35.157.26.135. The site utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, but lacks any legitimate cryptocurrency service traces. This domain poses a HIGH IMMEDIATE RISK due to its low detection rate and recent deployment. VirusTotal analysis confirms zero detections out of 95 security engines as of seed 642718, and no known blocklists have flagged the domain yet. The combination of a newly registered domain, suspicious IP allocation, and absence of safety oversight creates a prime environment for cryptocurrency theft through wallet draining or fake login portals. Users tricked into interacting with tradegeniusfx.com risk irreversible financial loss. If you visited tradegeniusfx.com or entered credentials, cease all crypto transfers immediately. Disconnect any connected wallets, revoke any granted permissions via your wallet’s security settings, and scan devices for malware. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for further analysis and avoid similar links in the future. Always verify URLs manually and use hardware wallets or trusted interfaces for crypto transactions to prevent exposure to such threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260504-75E9C5 Favicon MD5: f197e0df60246dab208670d9093f3e5f TLS cert SHA-256: d911478e3f38ade3002700fa8063cff3d05f993c328d99c6a316d6463c21d58d ## 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/tradegeniusfx.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tradegeniusfx.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.
