## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Fake Exchange
Targeted brand: Ethereum

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker
AlienVault OTX:  2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.22.254 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

trustex.one Safety Check — Phishing Detected

The domain trustex.one is currently active and hosts content that returns an HTTP 200 status code, indicating a reachable web service. Registry data shows it was registered through NameSilo, LLC and continues to resolve to Cloudflare infrastructure, specifically the nameservers dalary.ns.cloudflare.com and gannon.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain has been listed on a single security blocklist and is flagged by the PhishDestroy feed as a malicious phishing resource.

VirusTotal analysis reports that one out of ninety‑one scanning engines identified the domain as malicious, providing at least one independent indicator of compromise. The limited detection footprint suggests that the site may be relatively new or employing evasion techniques, but the presence on a reputable phishing feed and the Cloudflare DNS configuration are consistent with typical phishing hosting patterns. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact payload, target brand, or the specific phishing kit employed, as no page title, brand reference, or detailed content analysis is available in the current intelligence set.

Defenders should treat trustex.one as high‑risk, enforce network‑level blocking, and incorporate the domain into local and cloud‑based URL filtering policies. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare nameservers is advised, as future sub‑domains or variant URLs may be launched from the same infrastructure. Organizations should also review any recent user reports of credential‑submission attempts that reference trustex.one and consider tightening email authentication controls to reduce exposure to potential phishing campaigns originating from this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9a5a67a3b984ab223eef25ac3f419432
TLS cert SHA-256:      734f577e1cdb5ffa1d0dfeb89b03f6e34b81b133128e99e5b23becc98625a41b

## 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.
