No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-14 15:25:22 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:24:48 UTC (STALE — 25 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-16 00:05:52 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 25 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 25 days stale) 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/019c56d9-8246-7329-80d4-1e75842ca399/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/77c6ac45-7553-408f-94da-1e23b46f81c2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trustup.center crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trustup.center Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trustup.center AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trustup.center URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trustup.center/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:22:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies trustup.center as an active domain involved in generic phishing activities, assigning it a medium risk level. This domain attempts to deceive users by mimicking trusted entities, aiming to harvest sensitive information such as credentials or personal data. The domain trustup.center was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and currently resolves to the IP address 188.137.228.44. Although only a few security vendors have flagged it, the domain appears on at least one security blocklist, indicating suspicious behavior. The page title “Trust” is likely intended to instill a false sense of legitimacy to lure victims. Given the ongoing activity of this domain, users and organizations are advised to exercise caution when encountering communications or links referencing trustup.center. Employing email filters, updating threat intelligence feeds, and educating users about phishing tactics will help mitigate risks. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain’s status and recommends blocking it to prevent potential compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260214-5CE7D5 Favicon MD5: aeb942a96127155ae168f693a70b674d TLS cert SHA-256: 4ea65d00a17e2bc1f0a4648f5bfc97d52a2a413f98ab6bea2bbe05a1730eabd6 ## 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/trustup.center/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trustup.center 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.
