Nameservers: ["joan.ns.cloudflare.com", "sri.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-09 Expires: 2027-04-09 Page title: Trust Wallet Tips ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d4d2c00bd3eef0ad0eebb87d6b7fd52c12d002d43fdc20d8326d044ea52c025 ## 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: 2026-04-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 18:32:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 16:38:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 18:21:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb25f-cb70-733b-a5d9-55b31d440020/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2b1c94d1-1771-43b4-afdb-c2d1d5e07eec Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trust-crypto-tips.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trust-crypto-tips.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trust-crypto-tips.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trust-crypto-tips.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trust-crypto-tips.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 12:05:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies trust-crypto-tips.com as a high-risk domain due to the presence of a generic phishing threat, posing significant danger to users. This domain was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a substantial level of malicious activity, and was registered through Spaceship, Inc. To mitigate the risks associated with generic phishing, users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with trust-crypto-tips.com, avoiding any transactions or downloads, and instead opting for reputable sources, thus ensuring the safety of their sensitive information and financial assets, guided by the detailed analysis provided in the full report, seeded with a7039b for unique insight. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-EEDE5D Favicon MD5: 552b7f9e107f255a27c3fd3506aaa0eb TLS cert SHA-256: 4d4d2c00bd3eef0ad0eebb87d6b7fd52c12d002d43fdc20d8326d044ea52c025 ## 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/trust-crypto-tips.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trust-crypto-tips.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.
