No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 09:54:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-07 14:00:38 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e0135-848b-71ab-871e-16da94bed8ce/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trxfuel.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trxfuel.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trxfuel.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trxfuel.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trxfuel.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 09:55:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies trxfuel.io as an active Bitcoin drainer scam domain mimicking a fuel service to deceive victims into connecting wallets under the guise of payments. The site uses social engineering tactics to trick users into authorizing malicious transactions, resulting in direct asset extraction. No known brand impersonation was detected, but the drainer kit functionality aligns with common crypto-theft campaigns targeting blockchain users. trxfuel.io resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and is registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, with a domain creation date of April 24, 2026. As of current scans, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections and Google Safe Browsing has not flagged the URL. The domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is typical for phishing sites to appear legitimate. No public blocklist entries are recorded at this time, indicating recent deployment. This domain remains active and unblocked despite its malicious intent. Immediate browser-level and network-level blocking is recommended using the IP and domain indicators. Users are advised to avoid interaction and report the domain through phishing channels. Remaining risk is high due to zero detection coverage and recent domain age, suggesting potential for rapid expansion in targeting crypto users. Proactive threat intelligence sharing is strongly encouraged to prevent wider victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0aa6300f8977c850c2ef291d48d80712 TLS cert SHA-256: 7a53f3e33fab1d55ca54e29d29c31120bf61b3dcd38d9f9dbda1e01e12b0e8af ## 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/trxfuel.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trxfuel.io 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.
