## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: SushiSwap

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      13/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Phishing Database, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
AlienVault OTX:  13 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-23 20:25:05 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-11 12:16:26 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 15:10:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies tradesushi.org as a high-risk generic phishing domain designed to deceive users and steal sensitive information. Phishing campaigns leveraging this domain pose a significant threat as they can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and identity theft. Immediate awareness is crucial to avoid falling victim to these attacks.

This domain was created recently on February 21, 2026, and has been taken offline but remains notable due to its prior presence on six security blocklists and detection by 13 threat intelligence pulses within AlienVault OTX. VirusTotal reports multiple security vendors flagging tradesushi.org, confirming its malicious nature. The domain was registered through a dead domain registrar, a common tactic to evade traceability.

Users are advised to avoid visiting tradesushi.org or interacting with any associated links from emails or messages. Organizations should update their security filters to block any traffic related to this domain and educate users about phishing risks. Continuous monitoring for similar domains is recommended to maintain cybersecurity hygiene.

## 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.
