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: 2026-03-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-19 11:35:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-19 09:39:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 12:04:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edf3a-8ba0-71ac-b30a-20e108426e2c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/baf32ab7-ec9a-495a-970c-9eeac56507d6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trongenius.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trongenius.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trongenius.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trongenius.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trongenius.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:04:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] trongenius.com, a phishing domain, is currently offline but has been flagged by 3 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. The domain was registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, and hosted on an IP managed by Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States. This domain was first detected by PhishDestroy in June 2026, indicating its recent activity before being taken down. Despite its offline status, the domain's history suggests it was part of a phishing operation. The domain was issued an SSL certificate by Let's Encrypt, which is often used by legitimate sites but can also be exploited by malicious actors to lend credibility to phishing sites. Its platform risk score of 56/100 reflects a moderate level of threat, which aligns with the fact that it was listed on one public blocklist, specifically by PhishDestroy. The relatively low number of VirusTotal detections, combined with its presence on a public blocklist, highlights the importance of early detection systems. PhishDestroy's ability to identify such threats early helps mitigate the risks posed by phishing domains during the critical period before they are flagged by antivirus vendors. Although trongenius.com is no longer active, its brief existence underscores the ongoing challenge of combating phishing threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260619-AED92F Favicon MD5: 824d1d1f9dd65508a18b3399ee5ded29 TLS cert SHA-256: f41cbd67a2baf971917a98c37e9ad262333f2aa63a8ee5f8ba1046f8d85c361c ## 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/trongenius.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trongenius.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.
