# PhishDestroy threat dossier — trontx.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 19:49:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trontx.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.130.130 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 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.

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: 2026-07-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 20:35:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-16 20:20:44 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4302-0634-72c9-9b97-b10a03cb10c2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trontx.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trontx.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trontx.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trontx.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trontx.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 20:46:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain trontx.info is confirmed to operate as a crypto drainer phishing site, specifically targeting users of the TRON blockchain ecosystem. Analysis indicates the site impersonates legitimate TRON energy rental services, luring victims with promises of reduced transaction fees. As of the latest verification, the domain remains active and continues to host malicious content designed to siphon cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 05, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.3.86, a host with a history of association with phishing and fraudulent activities. The site employs an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, adding a superficial layer of legitimacy. VirusTotal detection metrics show the domain is flagged by 1 of 95 security vendors, a low but notable indicator of malicious intent given the domain's recent registration and targeted nature. The page title, 'TronTX — Cut TRON Transaction Fees by 80% | Instant Energy Rental,' directly references TRON, reinforcing the impersonation vector. Current status confirms trontx.info remains operational, posing an ongoing risk to users seeking TRON-related services. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and associated IP at the network level. Users should be educated to recognize the signs of crypto drainer schemes, including unsolicited offers of reduced fees or instant energy rental services. Security teams are recommended to monitor for additional domains registered under the same registrar or resolving to the same IP, as these may represent further iterations of the same threat. Immediate reporting to relevant blockchain security communities and domain registrars is encouraged to facilitate takedown efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: aaa2b1f44d5e4f3730363549f2b226f0 TLS cert SHA-256: 166bd8f79953acf722b6eea32d54d1dd0f79c7f291678df73bc3238fe307006c ## 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.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trontx.info 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.
