Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] trdmaxmarkets.com — Fake Exchange Phishing Report Analysis of trdmaxmarkets.com shows an active high‑risk phishing infrastructure targeting traders. The domain was registered on 10 Nov 2025 through GoDaddy Corporate Domains and resolves to IP 8.223.66.170, which is hosted in Hong Kong under ASN 45102 (Alibaba (US) Technology Co., Ltd.). Authority is delegated to ns7.alidns.com and ns8.alidns.com. The site presents a TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt (E7) and returns HTTP 200 with a page title of “TMGM – Best Forex Broker – Online CFD Trading Platform,” indicating an attempt to impersonate the legitimate TMGM broker. Detected technologies include Bootstrap, Zendesk, Google Tag Manager and HTTP/3. The domain has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, appears on three blocklists (PhishDestroy, MetaMask, SEAL) and was flagged by four of ninety‑one VirusTotal scanners. An AlienVault OTX pulse references the domain, confirming its presence in threat‑intel feeds. While the site’s full content has not been examined, the available indicators—fake exchange classification, brand‑spoofing page title, low trust score, and multiple blocklist listings—strongly suggest a credential‑harvesting operation. Defenders should immediately add trdmaxmarkets.com to URL filtering and DNS‑sinkhole rules, monitor outbound connections to its IP address, and ensure that any authentication flows to TMGM are validated against official endpoints. Ongoing threat‑intel correlation is advised to detect any pivot activity that may leverage this infrastructure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-5DD24E TLS cert SHA-256: 21c0f91b399097f5fc28ed758102b9321a2dd16fc447fe19c633c806fb714f36 ## 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/trdmaxmarkets.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trdmaxmarkets.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.
