TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: wallet_connect_phish
Targeted brand: mastercard (and: trust wallet, trustwallet, ups, visa)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

VirusTotal:      12/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Ermes, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave
URLQuery:        100 detections
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.47.137 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       Global Domain Group LLC
Nameservers:     melina.ns.cloudflare.com, neil.ns.cloudflare.com
Registered:      2026-02-21
Expires:         2026-11-30
Page title:      Trust | Your Private Crypto Card

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-22 00:17:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-05-14 04:31:49 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-14 03:31:47 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:33:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies user8171.trustpay.energy as a high-risk crypto drainer domain targeting Trustwallet users. This fraudulent website was designed to trick users into revealing sensitive information and private keys, leading to unauthorized access and theft of cryptocurrency assets. Despite being taken offline, it previously posed a significant danger to anyone interacting with it.

This phishing campaign employed a deceptive webpage titled "Trust | Your Private Crypto Card" to impersonate the legitimate Trustwallet brand. By mimicking the official site’s appearance and branding, it aimed to lure victims into entering their wallet credentials or signing malicious transactions. The domain’s creation in early 2026 and its presence on multiple security blocklists, along with flags from several antivirus vendors, confirm its malicious intent.

Users should never enter wallet details on unverified sites and always confirm URLs before interacting with crypto services. If you suspect exposure to such phishing attempts, immediately revoke any suspicious wallet permissions and transfer assets to a secure wallet. Regularly update security software and consult official Trustwallet channels for guidance to protect against similar scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260122-85597B
Favicon SHA-256:       18a1e6c63d170b5a7ab8c36c347dca14238bb0bf428f42353324c439206fc146

## 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.
