# PhishDestroy threat dossier — trxbuy.uk ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 03:06:30 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trxbuy.uk/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.201.59 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. [Tag = CLOUDFLARE] Nameservers: arvind.ns.cloudflare.com, naya.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-02 Expires: 2027-07-02 Page title: Buy TRX Online Instantly | Premium TRON Purchase | BuyTRX HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-01 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0ff36b2ea2891d1f33ce5058b83266ca454805475dff52bdccaa777fc0a21a57 ## 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: 2026-07-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-07 12:16:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-14 04:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3c13-7803-7537-97c6-728712391583/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trxbuy.uk crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trxbuy.uk Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trxbuy.uk AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trxbuy.uk URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trxbuy.uk/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 12:24:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, trxbuy.uk, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site targeting users seeking to purchase TRON (TRX) cryptocurrency. Analysis indicates the domain impersonates legitimate TRX trading platforms, likely deploying a cryptocurrency drainer kit to siphon wallet credentials and funds upon connection. The page title, 'Buy TRX Online Instantly | Premium TRON Purchase | BuyTRX,' reinforces the illusion of a premium service, increasing the likelihood of user engagement. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain currently resolves to IP address 172.67.201.59 and was registered on July 02, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc. Despite its malicious intent, the domain has a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged it yet. However, it appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple cryptocurrency security tools. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of security to unsuspecting users. The domain remains active as of this assessment, posing an ongoing threat to individuals attempting to purchase TRX. Response actions by security entities, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, have mitigated some exposure, but the lack of antivirus detections and continued accessibility increase residual risk. Users are advised to verify domain registration dates, cross-reference IP resolutions with known malicious infrastructure, and avoid interacting with unverified cryptocurrency platforms. Immediate reporting to cryptocurrency wallet providers and security blocklists is recommended to disrupt further exploitation. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: bd4c96bdb33c1069a5c14bfb59cecb66 TLS cert SHA-256: 0ff36b2ea2891d1f33ce5058b83266ca454805475dff52bdccaa777fc0a21a57 ## 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/trxbuy.uk/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trxbuy.uk 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.
