# PhishDestroy threat dossier — usdtradex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 09:59:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/usdtradex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.143.125 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] usdtradex.com — Phishing Investigation Report usdtradex.com was registered on March 06, 2026 through NameSilo, LLC. The domain uses Cloudflare authoritative nameservers (dee.ns.cloudflare.com, ed.ns.cloudflare.com) and resolves to the IP address 172.67.143.125, a Cloudflare edge node commonly shared among many unrelated sites. VirusTotal records show that the domain has been scanned by 91 AV/URL vendors, none of which currently raise a detection; this absence of flags does not constitute evidence of benign intent. The domain is listed on a single external blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, indicating that at least one security organization has observed malicious activity associated with the host. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title information are available in the current intelligence, so the actual content served by usdtradex.com remains unverified. The lack of observable landing page data prevents confirmation of the specific phishing lure or targeted brand, and no associated toolkit or campaign identifiers have been disclosed. Infrastructure analysis suggests the operator deliberately leveraged Cloudflare's CDN and DNS services to obscure the true origin of the malicious host, a common technique in phishing infrastructure. Defenders should consider adding usdtradex.com to domain blocklists, DNS filtering policies, and web proxy deny lists, especially for traffic directed to the 172.67.143.125 address. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s DNS records and any future VirusTotal or sandbox submissions is advised, as changes in hosting or content could alter the threat profile. Organizations that employ email or web security gateways should ensure that the domain is flagged for quarantine or drop, and incident response teams should treat any communications referencing usdtradex.com as potentially malicious until further forensic evidence is obtained. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: c1ca54ba44489a84e66020357a5f9a1fe035d27f6793834e8b5cdda5286c010c ## 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/usdtradex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdtradex.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
