Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is trdgmarkets.com Safe? Crypto Drainer Threat Detected The domain trdgmarkets.com has been identified as a generic phishing threat, actively impersonating a cryptocurrency trading platform to drain digital assets from unsuspecting users. Currently classified as offline, this domain was created on November 10, 2025, and registered through GoDaddy Corporate Domains, LLC. Its short lifespan and the presence of a generic 'Loading Page' title suggest it was designed for rapid, short-lived phishing campaigns, a common tactic among crypto drainer operations. Security assessments reveal alarming indicators: VirusTotal flagged the domain by 3 out of 95 security vendors, and it appears on 3 security blocklists. The domain resolves to IP address 8.223.65.253 and uses an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (E7), which, while providing encryption, does not validate the site's legitimacy. Additionally, AlienVault OTX records show it was found in 1 threat intelligence pulse, indicating active tracking by the security community. These metrics collectively point to a high-risk domain that users should avoid entirely. Given that trdgmarkets.com is now offline, the immediate threat of credential theft or asset drainage is reduced. However, the domain's registration through GoDaddy Corporate Domains and the involvement of a certificate authority like Let's Encrypt highlight how cybercriminals exploit legitimate services to build false trust. Users who may have interacted with this site should change any passwords used and monitor their crypto wallets for unauthorized transactions. PhishDestroy strongly advises verifying any financial platform with official sources before engaging, and recommends using a dedicated hardware wallet for cryptocurrency storage to mitigate the risk of drainer attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-E1FEBA TLS cert SHA-256: 7c37d5d618a45777172d8ef9161fcaa919c89f936cb8fd13a1def6d8255fd993 ## 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/trdgmarkets.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trdgmarkets.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
