# PhishDestroy threat dossier — trx-buy.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 14:33:26 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trx-buy.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.

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: 2026-05-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-02 14:45:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-02 11:47:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-03 03:25:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e8825-9048-774a-b35d-371a6553452d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cea5abbc-b864-4abd-93fb-6aad472ac135 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trx-buy.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trx-buy.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trx-buy.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trx-buy.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trx-buy.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:55:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, trx-buy.org, is actively engaged in cryptocurrency phishing operations targeting users of the TRON (TRX) and Tether (USDT) ecosystems. The site presents itself as a legitimate platform for converting USDT to TRX and purchasing TRON network energy, using the page title 'Conversion USDT ⇄ TRX et achat d’énergie TRON | Rapide, sûr et fiable.' The fraudulent interface mimics official exchange services, likely prompting users to enter wallet credentials, recovery phrases, or authorize malicious transactions, leading to direct asset theft or unauthorized access to digital wallets. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was registered on May 29, 2026, through Internet Domain Service BS Corp, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), a network commonly used to obfuscate the true origin of phishing infrastructure. The domain is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and appears on three independent security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (YE2), provides encryption but does not validate legitimacy, as certificates are routinely issued to malicious domains. Users who have visited trx-buy.org or interacted with its content should immediately cease all engagement and revoke any wallet permissions granted. It is critical to audit connected wallets for unauthorized transactions and transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet. If credentials or recovery phrases were entered, assume full compromise and monitor associated accounts for suspicious activity. Reporting the domain to relevant security platforms and financial service providers can aid in broader mitigation efforts. Given the domain's active status and high-risk classification, continued exposure poses significant financial and operational threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260602-D8F137 Favicon MD5: ab5ee3d039fffe3dfc5d6cf391f4ae99 TLS cert SHA-256: af6bc4794ad78688ba897a26abb19aa19a0f4bc345b4f21567d1a8e6f8ef4457 ## 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/trx-buy.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trx-buy.org 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.
