# PhishDestroy threat dossier — trontx.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-08 18:35:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trontx.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: eva.ns.cloudflare.com, rohin.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-07 Expires: 2027-07-07 Page title: TronTX - Buy & Rent TRX Energy for Free Transactions ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: efa147e456a1c8d32ce6b8f56fb786f4862832cade27fbd5ad12334cd6bb1c37 ## 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: 2026-07-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 14:50:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 20:33:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f41c6-2629-762f-a54f-91392d2d7cb0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d3546a72-3d91-492f-9fbe-28f361807531 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trontx.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trontx.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trontx.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trontx.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trontx.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 14:54:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, trontx.cc, operates as a crypto drainer scam specifically targeting users of the TRON (TRX) blockchain. The site falsely advertises "Buy & Rent TRX Energy for Free Transactions" to lure victims into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets. Once connected, malicious scripts automatically drain funds by executing unauthorized transactions, a common tactic in crypto-focused phishing attacks. The threat is particularly dangerous due to its narrow targeting of TRX users, who may be enticed by promises of free energy or transaction benefits. Analysis of the domain reveals multiple red flags. Only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal currently flag trontx.cc, indicating low detection rates despite its active malicious status. The domain was registered on July 07, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent domains. Infrastructure analysis shows the site resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, and it uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which does not validate the legitimacy of the site's content. No additional blocklist entries were identified beyond the single VirusTotal detection, suggesting the domain remains under-monitored. Users who have visited trontx.cc or connected a wallet to the site should immediately take action. Disconnect the wallet from all dApps and revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals using a blockchain explorer. Transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet and monitor all connected accounts for unauthorized transactions. If credentials were entered, assume they are compromised and update passwords for all associated accounts. Report the domain to relevant blockchain security platforms and consider submitting the URL to additional threat intelligence feeds to improve detection rates. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: efa147e456a1c8d32ce6b8f56fb786f4862832cade27fbd5ad12334cd6bb1c37 ## 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/trontx.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trontx.cc 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.
