# PhishDestroy threat dossier — trx.ymxhs.shop ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 03:12:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trx.ymxhs.shop/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 59/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: G-Data, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 38.162.112.38 (US, Los Angeles) ASN: ASAS174 Cogent Communications, LLC Hosting org: AS174 Cogent Communications, LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["ns05.domaincontrol.com", "ns06.domaincontrol.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-30 Page title: TrxSwap | 24小时自动TRX兑换 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-02-21 (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: 2026-02-03 10:06:30 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 04:05:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-11 12:01:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019c22c8-e36c-70aa-aadb-ac612ac39313/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/85b78e92-7c22-4867-890c-358f83dc4b92 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trx.ymxhs.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trx.ymxhs.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trx.ymxhs.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trx.ymxhs.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trx.ymxhs.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:27:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies trx.ymxhs.shop as a medium-risk generic phishing domain primarily targeting users interested in TRX cryptocurrency exchange services. The domain’s page title, "TrxSwap | 24小时自动TRX兑换," suggests it impersonates a TRX-related swapping platform, potentially aiming to steal login credentials or funds. Supporting evidence includes the domain’s registration via GoDaddy.com, LLC, its resolution to IP address 38.162.112.38, and its presence on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis detected flags from 4 out of 95 security vendors, indicating suspicious activity though not widespread consensus. The domain was created recently on February 21, 2026, and appeared to operate briefly before being taken offline, which limits ongoing risk but confirms malicious intent during its active period. To mitigate risk, users should avoid visiting trx.ymxhs.shop or submitting any personal or financial information to it. Security solutions that block known phishing sites should continue to include this domain in their filters. As of now, trx.ymxhs.shop is offline, reducing immediate threat; however, vigilance is advised as similar phishing sites may emerge to target TRX users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260203-6B4647 Favicon SHA-256: 301bd9f16f94feedfae7a946a14bac38cb73c43efe6117bc5586835af03d7d6f ## 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.ymxhs.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trx.ymxhs.shop 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.
