Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy categorizes trx.finance as a low-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Although the risk level is assessed as low, its intent to deceive users by mimicking a reputable crypto brand warrants caution. The domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on two security blocklists, indicating some detection of suspicious activity. It was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3. The page title "TRX.CLAIMS — Buy TRX with USDT" suggests a focus on TRX token claims and potentially fraudulent transactions. The domain is designed to impersonate Binance, likely attempting to mislead users into trusting the site. Currently, trx.finance is offline, which helps mitigate immediate risks. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid visiting or engaging with this domain. Security teams should continue monitoring for similar impersonation attempts and maintain blocking rules for trx.finance and related infrastructure to prevent potential phishing or fraud incidents. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 TLS cert SHA-256: b573e1c29d1ce82b00f5967767eee4f11cc39a28186d0da70309f608a1451ad5 ## 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.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trx.finance 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.
