Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] trx-exchange.com: Confirmed Phishing Site The domain trx-exchange.com was registered on July 20, 2026 through Dominet (HK) Limited and uses the authoritative name servers ns7.alidns.com and ns8.alidns.com. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 8.219.235.199. As of the report date (July 22, 2026) the site remains active and is classified as a generic phishing operation. Threat intelligence platforms have added the domain to three public blocklists, and it is currently blocked by the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL filtering services. VirusTotal analysis shows that five of ninety‑five scanned scanners have generated a detection for the domain, indicating partial consensus among security vendors. No additional public indicators such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page titles have been released at this time. The combination of a recent registration, use of Alibaba Cloud DNS infrastructure, and rapid inclusion on multiple blocklists suggests an opportunistic campaign targeting users of cryptocurrency or exchange services. Defenders should continue to block DNS resolution for trx‑exchange.com, add the IP address 8.219.235.199 to network‑level deny lists, and ensure that endpoint protection solutions ingest the five vendor detections from VirusTotal. Ongoing monitoring of the domain’s hosting provider and any future changes to its DNS records is recommended to capture potential migration or expansion of the malicious infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260722-C1C12F TLS cert SHA-256: 5837cec9c34349a975e2be238e5fb9fcd154bab3a1d92a31b11681d232b4afb6 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trx-exchange.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trx-exchange.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
