No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 09:45:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-07 06:47:33 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-07 13:00:07 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable 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/019e012d-1914-719c-81c8-e4979d2dc918/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/usdttrading.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.usdttrading.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=usdttrading.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/usdttrading.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/usdttrading.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 09:47:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] usdttrading.shop has been flagged as a crypto drainer phishing domain under active investigation, posing a significant threat to cryptocurrency users. This domain leverages deceptive branding to trick victims into connecting wallets and authorizing malicious transactions, resulting in direct asset theft. The site’s recent emergence and unflagged status on VirusTotal underscore the urgency of proactive blocking and user awareness. Analysis of this domain reveals minimal defensive coverage at present. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 scanners, indicating a lack of signature-based detection. The domain resolves to IP address 2.57.91.54 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, adding superficial legitimacy. Historical records indicate recent creation and absence from major blocklists, with domain scoring engines reflecting low trust due to its brief operational timeline and high-risk categorization. These factors suggest the threat actor is operating with minimal footprint to avoid early detection. To mitigate exposure, organizations and individuals should immediately block usdttrading.shop at the network and DNS levels. Users interacting with cryptocurrency platforms must verify URLs via official channels and avoid clicking unsolicited links. Wallets should be monitored for unauthorized approvals, and users should revoke any suspicious contract permissions. Enhanced email and web filtering rules should be deployed to intercept future iterations of this campaign, leveraging threat intelligence sharing to prevent lateral spread. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260507-82D8FB TLS cert SHA-256: 743a3934502bccc98476b4640a8c009f13d96c98f57a9563854e2be8bde6356f ## 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/usdttrading.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdttrading.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.
