# PhishDestroy threat dossier — usdai-tge.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-30 09:34:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/usdai-tge.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 65/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar URLQuery: 1 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ["cosmin.ns.cloudflare.com", "norah.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-08 HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-07-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 258e05389f4a487e22a3173dba98f16b6d85971dffb82a1c43431d476b11050e ## 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: 2026-04-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-08 21:25:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-08 18:26:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-24 07:40:06 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-11 11:48:55 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/019d6e56-8b71-73bb-aa8c-7c623a2d3505/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7d583d03-665c-46c3-9163-66063a763eac Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdai-tge.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdai-tge.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdai-tge.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdai-tge.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdai-tge.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-08 21:25:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies usdai-tge.com as an active generic phishing domain masquerading as a legitimate Token Generation Event (TGE) platform. The domain employs social engineering tactics to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets and approving malicious transactions via a crypto drainer kit. No specific brand impersonation is observed in available telemetry, suggesting the threat actor is leveraging a generic, high-reward lure to maximize victim engagement. The infrastructure supports automated fund extraction, posing significant risk to users interacting with TGE-related content or crypto investment opportunities. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of usdai-tge.com. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered on April 08, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Security vendor detection stands at 1/95 on VirusTotal, indicating low but present visibility among threat intelligence platforms. The domain utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance credibility. As of current analysis, the domain remains unblocked in Google Safe Browsing and has not been widely listed on public blocklists, increasing the likelihood of user exposure. These factors collectively suggest a recently deployed campaign with untracked infrastructure. As of this assessment, usdai-tge.com remains active and is actively propagating through phishing channels including social media, messaging platforms, and spoofed investment forums. No takedown or mitigation actions have been confirmed by hosting or registrar entities. The elevated risk level reflects the domain's ability to bypass initial detection systems and its potential to inflict severe financial losses on victims. Users are strongly advised to block this domain at the network and endpoint level, avoid interacting with TGE-related solicitations, and verify crypto platforms directly through official channels. The campaign's reliance on new infrastructure and low detection rates suggests continued operation until external intervention occurs. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260408-9DA1FF Favicon MD5: 0c38ccc76d7fd1e5ec76c6f0852253a0 TLS cert SHA-256: 258e05389f4a487e22a3173dba98f16b6d85971dffb82a1c43431d476b11050e ## 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/usdai-tge.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdai-tge.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
