## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 65/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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:    2026-05-07 09:34:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-05-18 07:40:05 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-14 06:11:34 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-07 09:35:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies the domain trontrace.com as a generic phishing page currently under investigation for impersonating a login portal and attempting to harvest cryptocurrency credentials. No specific drainer kit fingerprint has been extracted at this stage; the landing page appears to mimic a common exchange or wallet authentication flow. The threat is classified as active, with low to medium risk pending further behavioral analysis.

Technical indicators collected on 2026-05-01 confirm the following: the domain was registered through Namecheap Inc, resolving to IP 188.114.96.3 and protected by a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal currently reports 0 out of 95 antivirus engines flagging the page, and no blocklist entries have been recorded in public feeds as of the investigation timestamp. The domain itself is exceptionally new—created on May 01, 2026—indicating a likely impulse registration targeting time-sensitive credential theft.

The domain remains active and under active monitoring. PhishDestroy analysts are conducting behavioral sandboxing to extract payload fingerprints and connection chains. While the current risk is assessed as under investigation, domain age, lack of detections, and absent blocklist presence suggest rapid escalation potential. Users are advised to avoid visiting trontrace.com, verify all links using PhishDestroy’s real-time scanner, and report any suspicious wallet login pages immediately for community protection.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       1c71ee8eb72061cd591f45249e8aa68e
TLS cert SHA-256:      f8a516d6e9b79065dd8a6b11ab48a9cbcd682d706a3213956b2f4829ae040738

## 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.
