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: 2026-03-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 17:29:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 15:34:37 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-24 16:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 00:16:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edb58-6a54-712f-be57-73d1e39c6ede/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8c576341-fae6-4812-8db7-32870cc822a3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tronetc.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tronetc.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tronetc.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tronetc.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tronetc.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:27:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Tronetc.com, a domain associated with a phishing scam targeting OnChainTrade users, is currently offline. Despite its takedown, the domain was flagged by 6 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors as malicious. PhishDestroy identified this threat on 2026-06-18, highlighting its potential danger before it was widely recognized. The domain was registered with Dynadot Inc and hosted on IP address 202.146.222.88 in Hong Kong, under AS152194 CTG Server Limited. The phishing operation exploited the OnChainTrade brand, aiming to deceive users into providing sensitive information. With a platform risk score of 70/100, tronetc.com posed a significant threat during its active period. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for malicious actors due to its free and automated nature. The domain's presence on public blocklists from PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL further underscores its malicious intent. Phishing domains like tronetc.com often capitalize on the delay between domain registration and antivirus database updates, typically a 24-72 hour window. This allows them to operate under the radar before being flagged by security vendors. PhishDestroy's proactive detection pipeline captures such threats early, providing crucial alerts before they gain traction. The swift takedown of tronetc.com illustrates the ongoing efforts to combat phishing schemes and protect users from fraudulent activities. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-577CCB Favicon MD5: 52fcbdc9b89c76570a1246925d321d0d TLS cert SHA-256: bc14dec030e8639fe84a5950a2d752eca179b1adef5df181abb178b57b08ec6c ## 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/tronetc.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tronetc.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.
