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: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 23:15:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 21:17:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 18:44:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb363-1b79-76e5-b071-b18c00447bd5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/56c68906-2f4d-45ca-9476-d5ced3bb15d6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tradexedge.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tradexedge.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tradexedge.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tradexedge.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tradexedge.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:05:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk credential theft phishing site designed to harvest user login credentials and sensitive information. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was specifically engineered to mimic legitimate trading or financial platforms, likely targeting individuals involved in online trading or investment activities. The page title 'TradexEdge | Home' suggests an attempt to impersonate a professional trading service, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among targeted users. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-confidence indicators of malicious activity. The domain tradexedge.com was registered on May 07, 2026, through TUCOWS.COM, CO., and currently resolves to the IP address 67.217.57.170. Security vendor detections include 12/95 flags on VirusTotal, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been identified in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic used to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing sites. The domain was blocked by PhishDestroy and is currently offline, though historical activity remains a concern. Mitigation steps for organizations and end-users include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP address (67.217.57.170) at the network perimeter. Security teams should review logs for connections to this domain or IP, particularly from endpoints involved in financial or trading activities. End-users who may have interacted with the site should be instructed to reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window, with priority given to financial, email, and trading platforms. Multi-factor authentication should be enforced where available to mitigate the impact of credential theft. Additionally, security awareness training should emphasize the risks of credential harvesting through fake trading platforms and the importance of verifying domain authenticity before entering sensitive information. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 12/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-067CEC Favicon MD5: faa11e57fd90133bdfb1186248e623d5 TLS cert SHA-256: 55dd46c9967ae0fd836bc8a8c17b1234fb85a93fb98db961ab391276e5a5f823 ## 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/tradexedge.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tradexedge.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.
