No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-19 21:31:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-19 18:32:05 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-24 01:12:45 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019da702-0fd0-772e-bf22-c9a04bf861e5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/125e35f7-4571-4090-b7dc-16f7d61fb3cf Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trust-payment.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trust-payment.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trust-payment.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trust-payment.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trust-payment.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-19 21:31:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] trust-payment.cc was identified as a fraudulent payment portal designed to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets under the guise of processing payments. This domain mimics legitimate payment gateways to steal crypto assets, commonly referred to as a crypto drainer. Security researchers flag such sites for their deceptive tactics, where victims are lured into authorizing malicious transactions that drain their wallets without their knowledge. Given the domain's recent creation and lack of detections on VirusTotal, users are urged to treat this site as a high-risk threat until further investigation can confirm its malicious purpose. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after analysis revealed multiple red flags. The domain trust-payment.cc was created on April 18, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. VirusTotal scans show 0 out of 95 security vendors detecting the domain as malicious, indicating it is not yet widely recognized as a threat. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is often exploited by threat actors to appear legitimate. Its recent registration date and low detection rate suggest it may be a newly deployed threat still evading broad detection. If you visited trust-payment.cc, immediately disconnect your wallet from the site if you connected it. Do not authorize any transactions or sign any messages from this domain. Review your wallet’s transaction history for any unauthorized transfers and report suspicious activity to your wallet provider. To verify the safety of websites, always use PhishDestroy or other trusted threat intelligence platforms before entering sensitive information. Stay vigilant against domains mimicking payment portals, especially those created recently or with low detection rates, as they pose a significant risk to your digital assets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260419-93626B TLS cert SHA-256: 840ab0dc2b8dd9df4d7a9040fb57c3a325807d5d22f9835dc54e9f4ed8605b6e ## 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-payment.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trust-payment.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
